[RTTY] Lids running RTTY on the JT65 Freq

I heard a guy during the W1AW event complaining that there is no SSB 
permitted above 7280.  He said 7280 and above is reserved for AMer's.  
Really?  I guess I am also expected to know every NET freq and time?    
Many of those folks feel they own those freqs also during their daily 
nets.  I would certainly move if they fired up for their net, but a 
friendly request out weighs a lecture on my lack of knowledge that the 
"Young Farts Net" is on here every day. Yet when we received 60m and it 
was channelized everybody was up in arms.  You cannot have it both ways.

If you are transmitting a mode that I cannot hear without software then 
maybe you need to modify that mode to make sure people know you are 
there.   Leaving 10khz of bandwidth unused is ridiculous just because 
somebody MAY be there.

Always remember just because you hear someone QRMing another signal does 
not always mean the QRMer is hearing him also.  He may not be.

The FCC rules are very clear about bands segments and modes and that is 
really all that matters.
