It is a conflict and the two entities ought to straighten it out
Exactly. Maybe the RTTY was operating QRP?
Remember too that 40 meters is only 7000-7100 outside of IARU
Region 2.
That will change in the next few years but right now a lot of DX is
allowed above 7100. And as we head towards sunspot minimum, folks
who
were spread all over the bands above 10 MHz are being pushed lower
in
frequency due to lack of propagation. Happens every cycle.
The best solution would be for the bottom 50-75 kc\Hz of each band
to
be
made CW-only - by law.
The FCC doesn't want to end up doing this sort of micro-
management. It's better if hams decide (via ARRL or such
group) what subbands are where. And if something needs to
change it doesn't take years to do it. The FCC acknowledges
such as "good amateur practice".
Riley says that "Good Amateur Practice" is enforceable.
No one here believes it, though.
