We were just discussing this very thing over on the RTTY list, just on
HF.  With the silent modes like the JT stuff, it's really important to
know where the various modes hang out.  And no, the ARRL band plans
and "considerate operator" guides are of no help.

I'm pretty much an SSB guy on 144, so I have no iron in the fire as
far as who is where doing what, but I do want to be aware of it so I
don't needlessly interfere.
