[Boatanchors] Digital Around 7050kc

[w3khg]

Was told a decade ago 7040 was the rtty area. American qrp'ers claimed 
it as the qrp freq while the Brits made 7030 the qrp freq due to this 
very reason. Activity for digital for decades has been on the higher 
frequencies around 7080 and above. One can surmise this latest activity 
is due to lack of "elmering" or teaching hams about the Gentlemens 
Agreements.

>GM,
>Just curious about this. Why are there digital stations now operating around +/- 7050kc.
>Activity is there most days. Some seem to be incessantly transmitting while others may
>be having a QSO. I thought those type of stns usually operated farther up the band. Not
>saying they can't operate in this area, but just wondering why they picked this well known
>and used cw freq to operate when there is plenty of room up in the normal rtty/dig. part
>of the band. Also another wad of 'em down around 7040kc or so.
