[RTTY] ARRL attack on current RTTY users

[Dave AA6YQ]

Automatically controlled stations are not remotely-controlled stations, and vice versa; thus section IV would not enable the use of
2800 hertz for automatically controlled stations.

My understanding is that WinLink servers are automatically controlled stations. If my interpretation is correct, these would remain
limited in bandwidth to 500 hertz.

If WinLink or any other network of automatically controlled stations are advertising the availability of HF servers whose bandwidth
is greater than 500 hertz, I'd appreciate a URL.

      73,

            Dave, AA6YQ

Dave that looks like more lawyer type weasel words. It says it does not
change the status of AUTOMATICALLY controlled stations. Look at Sec. IV where
the remotely controlled stations are permitted 2.8khz bw. I don't know how
many fully automatic stations are left on the air except for a few packet
operations, just another slightly misleading part of this monstrosity.
