I am aware the band is quite limited in Europe. I spent SIX YEARS there
operating most of that time. My call was DA2LJ. My point is this; in
recent years the RTTY crowd has been moving further down the band. I am
not just talking about contest time. The contest just makes it more
obvious.
Give a listen, especially on the weekends you will hear RTTY down to 7.020
at times.
There is no reason for this, other than because they can. I haven't said a
word about the other digital modes I hear down there either.
