[RTTY] K1N vs ARRL

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

That is their excuse and they have been allowed to break the rules for 
years.  Nobody has pushed the FCC. I sent some emails to the FCC and got 
no reply.  One opinion was that the way the ARRL is reading the rules is 
just wrong.

The ARRL feels that they are owed certain freqs because they are the 
ARRL yet the FCC goes after the mess on 14.275 etc which they should.  
Nobody owns the Frequency and firing up without listening is INTENTIONAL 
INTERFERENCE.  Period.
