[RTTY] RTTY below 14072, 21072

[Jay WS7I]

Very important to note that on 40 that in the US our band goes to 7.125 
and doesn't end at 7.100.  Also JA's are often as low as 7.025 this is 
of course true in DXing as well as Contesting.  I find that lately a lot 
of DX is working in the area 7.080 plus during contests.
