Where in that does it say that the bulletin station has any more right
to use those frequencies than those already using them? If the schedule
consists of *more than* 40 hours per week, being late or not running a
given transmitter because it would interfere with the existing user of
a frequency would not endanger the ability to pay the control operator.
ARRL is simply making the "control operator" argument out of laziness -
no different than the contest operator who is too lazy (or in too big
of a hurry) to listen for weak signal activity before he hits F1 on
his KW and stacked antennas.

using reasonable measures to maximize coverage; where the schedule of
normal operating times and frequencies is published at least 30 days
in advance of the actual transmissions; and where the control operator
does not accept any direct or indirect compensation for any other
service as a control operator."

The ARRL lawyers' position is that, if they are paying the control
operator, they cannot deviate from the schedule unless the schedule
deviation is announced and published in advance due to the wording of
the regulations, so the control operator at the ARRL has to fire up
the transmitter even if there's a station there.

Didn't we just have a heated discussion about this a few weeks ago?
As I recall, some posters took the position that RTTY operators should
know
that certain frequencies are accepted watering holes for various modes
and
are covered by gentlemen's agreements. More specifically, the stated
position seemed to be that that RTTY operators should know about
relatively
fixed JT65 operating frequencies and, therefore, avoid them. If that
position is valid, then those same RTTY operators should know about the
relatively fixed ARRL bulletin operating frequencies and, therefore,
avoid
them.
If the concept applies to JT65, doesn't it apply to ARRL bulletins?
I acknowledge that I may be poking at the fire.
