[RTTY] RM-11708 FAQ posted

[Kai]

Ron,
Answer:
Wide bandwidths are not prohibited under today's rules. Bandwidths of up to 200 
kHz depending on the MF-HF ham band (300 kHz at 10m band) are *permitted* today 
in the digital sections of our bands. Under RM-11708 there would be a limit of 
2.8 kHz, a massive DECREASE in the allowed BW for Data/Digital modes.

Band plans like we have already, and courteous operation (like most of the RTTY 
community) are very good ideas.
