A Google search returns lots of discussions of this proposal going back more 
than a decade.

Some of the arguments against contain the same spittle flecked invective hurled 
against the ARRL on a daily basis in the general class portion of the 80M phone 
band (a.k.a. "CB") because it's from the ARRL and contains the letters "A", "R" 
and "L"; and the second shooter/9-11 inside job conspiracy fans that believe 
the HF bands would be overrun by millions of yacht owning hams checking their 
email.

I'm all for dropping symbol rate restrictions.  But allowing 2.8 kHz bandwidth 
signals anywhere RTTY is allowed would be detrimental during contest weekends, 
when you can find RTTY operators well into the .100+ segments of the bands that 
are forbidden to SSB in the US but nowhere else in the world (a tangent I won't 
belabor here).  How many RTTY signals can coexist cheek to jowl in any 10 kHz 
segment of spectrum?  How many 2.8 kHz wide modes?

W8JI has a good explanation of the practical problems of intermixing wide and 
narrow bandwidth modes at http://w8ji.com/mixing_wide_and_narrow_modes.htm 

I'm not saying don't do it at all, but if you're going to allow 2.8 kHz wide 
digital modes, you have to restrict them to sub-segments, and not the entire 
digital segment.

Hi,

That would help me as well, I do not see how this harms RTTY, and if it does, I 
would like better understand.
