Don't involve us Canadians in this argument. This problem was created by the USA, is a problem only within the USA , and the solution has to come from the USA.
As an outsider, it seems that the FCC was overly zealous in allowing another 200khz for SSB operations, and stuffing everyone else in a 100khz segment. In actual practice , very few SSB signals are heard below 3700 khz so why not campaign for the FCC/ARRL to allocate 3650 up for SSB and 3650 down to 3550 for digi and the rest for CW I don't understand why they messed with this in the first place.
