Yes, as one of those dastardly RTTY contesters, we have no choice. More
importantly, the DX we are trying to work has a lot less choice. For
instance JA's are supposed to stay between 7025 and 7030, while most of the
rest of them have to be below 7050 or 7040.
I say, go steal some bandwidth from the Phoney guys! I wish we could!

I love CW. It's pretty much the only mode I operate.
However...
RTTY is entitled to be there, just as much as CW is.
Oh yes, 7040 is the international RTTY calling frequency.
You would expect there to be a lot of RTTY there.
If sharing the band with RTTY operators was such a
huge problem, then why didn't you just move above 7125,
where the RTTY operators can't go?
