That is their excuse and they have been allowed to break the rules for years. Nobody has pushed the FCC. I sent some emails to the FCC and got no reply. One opinion was that the way the ARRL is reading the rules is just wrong.

The ARRL feels that they are owed certain freqs because they are the ARRL yet the FCC goes after the mess on 14.275 etc which they should. Nobody owns the Frequency and firing up without listening is INTENTIONAL INTERFERENCE. Period.

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.

K1N was there first.

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.
