[RTTY] Lids running RTTY on the JT65 Frequency

[Larry]

During CQWW CW activity often extends to .130 (sometimes higher) on 20, 15, 
10. But that doesn't seem to bother RTTY or digital stations. Too many times 
I have heard a station running on an "RTTY" frequency for a long time get 
blasted by an RTTY station just start sending. Same thing on a "digital" 
frequency. As was pointed out earlier intentional QRM goes both ways. Now I 
will grant you that if I want to operate RTTY while CQWW CW is running that 
it can be difficult as the most likely place for me to find RTTY QSOs is the 
"RTTY" frequencies but that does not relieve of my responsibility to not 
cause intentional QRM.

1) This was an RTTY contest and an RTTY list ...
2) CW operators generally bail as soon as they *hear* the
    JT65/JT9 and/or PSK modes - they don't like long duration
    tones in their headsets and they *listen*.
3) in most cases (except 40 meters) the CW activity does not
    extend above xx.070 even in SS or CQWW CW except for a few
    thick-skulled fools who generally move because their rate
    suffers.
