[RTTY] Need to lawyer up for 60 meters

The FCC/NTIA want you to:
(1) monitor the channel for possible upper SSB transmissions if you are to be 
told to stop.
(2) The RTTY tones must be 1500 Hz +/- 85 Hz above the SSB rig dial frequency.

That implies you should operate RTTY in AFSK mode with the rif set to upper SSB and
with tones set to 1415 and 1585 Hz.
Do you need specific details for using MMTTY that way? I had it was in QST Sept 
2013,
technical correspondence.
