[RTTY] [MMTTY] Re: BoD votes LoTW initiatives

[Kai]

Why would you want to ban 45.45 baud 170 Hz shift RTTY by suggesting a "100 Hz 
or less" bandwidth rule??
The occupied bandwidth [ITU-R and FCC definitions] of RTTY is 250 Hz, greater 
than that of JT65. Even CW at  more than 30 wpm occupies more than 100 Hz.
