[RTTY] ARRL band plan

[Ron Kolarik]

Hi Bill,

Here's a few good references to what's going on but in the end it's
going to be how you feel about it.

I almost agree with W4TV in the last link with the exception of expanded
novice and tech privileges. The FCC recently denied a proposal to give
techs more modes on 10m citing the license class was meant to be a pathway
to upgrading to general. It's a simple multiple guess test to get a 
general and
since techs are currently the majority of licensees you have to wonder why
they aren't upgrading.
