[RTTY] 30 Meter Bandplan

[John Barber]

Thanks for the info about the weak signal modes using 10138 up. I will stay
well below there in future if it's busy above 140.
Which comes round to the big problem that some unfamiliar (to me) modes
cause; if I follow the bandplan (10130-10150), listen across a few KHz and
hear nothing, ask if the frequency is in use and get no reply, then that
frequency should be available to me. If you can't hear a signal, how can you
be expected to avoid it?
73,
John GW4SKA

John the weak signal modes JT9, JT65A and WSPR operate between 10137 kHz and
10142 kHz and that's what you ran into. Often they are there but can't be
heard by ear. These modes regularly get QRM'ed by RTTY operators no matter
where they operate so have no tolerance to getting QRM'ed.

I also operate these weak signal digital modes and try to be an ambassador
between the two groups.

I always stay above them when I operate RTTY. There is some RTTY activity
between 10135-10137 kHz but not split and not often, and also regularly as
high as 10145 kHz.
