[RTTY] RM-11708

[Ron Kolarik]

Thanks David and it's something everyone should consider in comments. 
Take a look at the Region 2 band plan, with minor
tweaking to fit some of the license class rules it's quite workable for 
US hams. I'm going to suggest just that in a comment
along with better enforcement of current rules......no rule/regulation 
change just enforcement.
