[RTTY] ARRL attack on current RTTY users

[Jeff Blaine]

The guys promoting the winlink/pactor 4 stuff keep talking about improved 
emcom support.  But I'm not sure how these two items tie together.

Can someone explain how the emcom needs are not met with the currently 
supported modes?   I have seen a lot of MARS related winlink comments but 
that group has a different focus than the general ham population.  Not to 
mention MARS has it's own set of dedicated frequencies.

That is actually a darn good suggestion, and does not deviate from what we 
can do today on FSK with the current regulations.

I.e., the narrowest 2 tone FSK bandwidth you can get by using the maximum 
symbol rate and FSK shift that is allowed from the existing regulations.

This would include 850 Hz RTTY shift too, which will allow good 
experimentation to further study selective fading.

Mind if I plagiarize that to include in my own comments to the FCC?

P.S.  It would also de-legalize Pactor III and create a different religious 
war.  (Pactor III is 2K20J2D emission.)
