[RTTY] Director response

[Ron Kolarik]

Okay guys I'm still having delays getting mail from the list and the reply
from Kai hasn't showed up yet.

As currently written Part 97 only allows unspecified codes on one band,
1.25m and 100kHz bw. 97.307(f)(13) and the way the appendix to RM-11708
is worded it would apply to everything.

The Appendix in ARRL's petition supports what Joe just said.

The copy I have of Part 97 (published ARRL 2007) says the same thing.

Has 97.307 been changed since then?
