[RTTY] RTTY above 14100, 21100

Hi,
 
In case there are any folks out there who are new to RTTY contesting, it is 
 important to know that ops generally move up during the contests, above 
the  normal non-contest frequencies.  In the upcoming CQ WW RTTY, there will 
be  a lot going on above 14100, 21100 and maybe even 28100 kHz if conditions 
are  good.  And sometimes above 7100 kHz, up to 7125 as Jay pointed out.   
Note that 3600 kHz is the 80m upper RTTY/data limit.
 
Last year in the WW RTTY conditions were very good on 15 and at one point  
the band was chock-a-block with signals from 21060 to about 21160 kHz.  I  
was in seventh heaven.
 
Here's a nice color chart of the official US amateur bands

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.
