[RTTY] Lids running RTTY on the JT65 Frequency

[Tom Osborne]

In the next RTTY contest, 14.090 is going to be 'MY' frequency.

I don't want anyone trespassing there as I am now laying claim.  If you 
happen to tune there and don't hear anything, it is because I am taking 
a break and am going to be back in a few minutes, or maybe I have my 
beam turned away from your direction.  But it is 'MY' frequency.

On 40, 7040 will be 'MY' frequency.  Just hope some of those QRP CW guys 
don't try and jump my claim.  Can't believe CW Ops would dare to operate 
on 40 meter CW during a RTTY contest.  They have no manners.  73

As long as you can lay claim to a frequency, I'm claiming mine.
