Oh, please spare us the holier than thou attitudes.  The 
"gentlemen's agreements" and "bandplans" on 40 meters have 
recognized RTTY use of 7030-7060 (+/- on both ends) for 
contests and international QSOs for at least 30 years. 

There is more than enough CW spectrum both above (as high 
as 7125) and below the area used on only a few weekends 
a year by RTTY contests. 

73, 

   ... Joe, W4TV
