[RTTY] Response to ARRL request for inputs for new Band Plan

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

 > Thoughts?

If the Commission agrees to ARRL's stupidity, any bandplan should
restrict wideband digital to existing "automatic control" sub bands
and only on amateur bands where there is a *separate* "RTTY, data"
allocation of more than 125 KHz.

As shown regularly on 80, 30, and 17 meters, with less than 125 KHz
there is simply not enough spectrum to support large numbers of wide
bandwidth digital operations without significant levels of asymmetric
interference to narrow band operations (which represent 99+% of all
non-voice/image operations).

73,
