Several comments: This is not an FCC proposal but a Report & Order, the changes spelled out are the new regulations 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, there is no chance for change at this point. RTTY generally starts at 3585, I participate in an RTTY net that has met on 3586

Basically you have 3 major DX contests that will pack 80 CW: ARRL DX, CQ WW DX, CQ WPX (ARRL SS also packs the band on this side of the pond). DX is all over the lower 100 khz of 80, so th
