[RTTY] K1N vs ARRL

[Ron Kolarik]

Pete, while the ARRL bulletins are a special case the problem could 
easily be solved by adding
plus-minus depending on frequency occupancy the way some nets publish 
their schedule. They
also are getting complaints about the cw bulletins on 80m trashing the 
PSK guys, here's a radical
idea....move the cw bulletins above 3600, you don't need to have an 
Extra license to listen.

As far as "published" frequencies to avoid add these that can't move 
either, not in the auto sub band
7,098.000, 7,097.00,  7,096.500,  7,096.000, 7,093.000, 7,090.500, 
7,089.500, 7,088.500, 7,087.500,
7,085.000, 7,085.000, 7,082.00,  7,080.000,  7,077.500,  7,075.500, 
7,072.000, 7,070.000, 7,065.900,
7,063.900, 7,061.500, 7,061.000, these are only the 40m US Winmor 
stations, there's more non-domestic
further cluttering the band. The JT and PSK watering holes are easy to 
avoid because if the band is open
those small slots will be full of activity, Winmor will come up on a 
pile up just like W1AW did....ask the guys
that lost an FT5ZM contact.

I really don't think the rest of the world gives a damn about our 
allocations or the W1AW schedule, SSB all
the way down to 7050 and it seems they don't care about anything else on 
the band.

73,
Ron
