[RTTY] FREQUENCY IN USE BY ... (JT65/JT9)

[Ktfrog007 at aol.com]

RTTY is basically a contest-only mode.  Check the RTTY subbands during  the 
week sometime.  They are vast wastelands, even 20m.  Then check  the PSK 
and JT65 frequencies - there is always something going on .  That's  why I 
took up JT65, just to have something digital to do between contests.   And I 
don't care to ragchew or brag about my station and memberships.
 
I started on RTTY in 2008 and there was way more everyday activity then  
than now.   Aside from contests, not much else happens except for  the 
occasional DXpedition or special event station.
 
If possession is nine tenths of the law, we RTTY folks don't have much of a 
 claim on these frequencies.  No wonder PACTOR4 wants in.
 
Please don't lynch me.  I'm a harmless OF with a bad back.

Hi  Stan

Well - you have to take into account, this is a RTTY reflector,  not a 
'digital' reflector/  I think most guys here are RTTY  contesters.  73 and
