[RTTY] W1AW/5 Texas RTTY on 17 meters

[Gary AL9A]

Since you want to avoid the JT65 groups this seems like a reasonable plan. 
Just be sure if you run split to limit the width of the pile ups to only a 
few kHz UP from your frequency.  If the pile gets too wide they will stumble 
onto the JT65 segment anyway.  I don't think operating at the lower end of 
the segment would cause a problem with any DX stations, but I haven't 
checked that out with the various region band plans.

I have just found out I will be working as W1AW/5 here in Texas on 30 and
17 meters.

I have noticed that most of the W1AW operations have operated on 17 meters
around 18.102 to 18.103 which is in the middle of the JT65 groups (One am
usually one of them).

To avoid interference I was thinking of operating around 18095.00?  What
would be the pros and cons of operating that low in the band?




Thank You!
