[RTTY] 18.110

[Al Kozakiewicz]

Point taken - I guess the FCC is the "member society" of an NGO, i.e. the IARU.  I'd still like to know the rationale for not being harmonized with the rest of region 2.  Or, to put my cynical freak on, who benefits from the US being different?

Beyond keeping your emission products between 18.068 and 18.168, I'm not sure the FCC cares.  RTTY at 18.112, or 18.150 for that matter, is still within the 17m band.  It just doesn't adhere to the ARRL's (I assume they are the "member society" in IARU lingo) implementation of the region 2 IARU band plan.

§97.305 of the FCC rules:
