While that is true, IARU recognize the "center of activity" concept.
The JT65/JT9 "center of activity" is x.076-x.080 *and that does not*
*change* just because there is a RTTY contest - any more than the
PACTOR autobots leave 14.095-14.0995/14.1005-14.115 and PSK31/63
abandons xx.070-xx.074 for the duration of the contest.
RTTY contesters need to learn if the dial reads less than xx.0805 they
are causing *intentional QRM* to other modes and find another frequency
or band. I was frankly disgusted by the number of *big guns* who should
know better coming up on top of existing TJT9 and JT65 QSOs all weekend.
It is time that RTTY contest sponsors make a strong effort to educate
their participants about other digital activity below xx.080 (between
xx.070 and xx.080) particularly on 20 and 15 meters.

may have to look elsewhere--just not ham radio.
Be very happy we have this flexibility.

I'm just guessing, but didn't someone on the list say there was an RTTY
contest?
Isn't it fairly common for contesters to get a bit "enthusiastic" and
overlook things, especially when the op is a contester, and not necessarily
on RTTY at any other time?

Haven't they ever head of Listen before you transmit?
Better Yet have they heard of a Band Plan?
