[RTTY] ARRL Symbol rate proposal

[Kai]

Why are we arguing for MORE regulation? Perhaps a gross simplification of the US 
amateur regulations might be better. The Canadian Amateur regulations are a good 
starting point, see the Tables in
"Standards for the Operation of Radio Stations in the Amateur Radio Service, 
RBR-4", referred by:
  "Radiocommunication Regulations" SOR/96-484.

In summary, Canadians are limited to 6 kHz BW below 28 MHz, except 30 m where 
the limit is 1 kHz. In 10 m band the limit is 20 kHz and rises with frequency 
above HF.
That's for the whole band, and I've found no modulation restrictions or subbands 
for CW, or data, or phone. Perhaps a VE might enlighten us further.

I haven't noticed any problems from across our northern borders.
