I have never understood this attitude that countries outside the U.S.
should be able to have to move down for voice transmissions. What it
says to me is those operatiors view those lower areas as having more
room without QRM.
When I compare the amount of ham signals on the bands to say 25 years
What is going to happen when and if the HF bands are
opened up for SSB to the "no-coders" ? Pick a number
for your turn on a band or just a 27Mhz free-for-all.

John,
It may very well be that there are not all that many no-code HF
interested hams. Look what happened with the no-code Technician License.
We did get an initial influx of course, and we will see that with a
no-code HF license too, but after that we may find that there really are
not that m
I don't find anything unusual at all about other countries giving
their phone operations room to roam below the US bands. If I was
located there, I would be asking for that too! I don't know about
160, but there is plenty of 'foreign' interference on 80 and 40.
As far as CW goes, 5 wpm is pain

I cannot recal
this is almost identical with the VOLUNTARY
bandplan currently being followed in Canada, the exception being
no phone ops under 3.700, and SSB to 4.000. ditto
on hearing no CW in the phone bands except between 3.7 and 3.725, and we

not have a novice band

Might even adopt the Metric system within another century or so.
My Dutch-born mother-in-law says that if she could get used to miles and
pounds and inches at age 40+, Americans could easily get used to the
Metric system if they started learning it in school.

I dont think anyone has said that band plans, just because they are
different than ours, are wrong. What has been said is that having different
band plans can lead to difficulties for one or the other, or both. If your
band plan allows your operators to work modes on frequencies where anothers

At our local VEC Meeting we heard that the FCC is

Thanks for sharing your direct experience from
UK, Canada and Australia.. on your voluntary bandplans..
I have personally also had direct experience with
these plans and found just like you all have found that they work exceedingly

And of course, there is no good reason to think
We silly Americans think that just because
we prop up the rest of the world with $$$ and also protect it from the "real"

No, that's not how it is. Many of these band plans
have been in active use for over 50 years. What makes you think that the rest of

This "bickering", as you call it, has been occurring on portals,
reflectors, news groups, and mailing lists all over the internet.
That's why there are more than 900 RM-11306 comments filed on the
FCC web site, compared with the 20 comments filed when 97.221 was
proposed in April 1995.

Please dont put words in my mouth. I did not
say that the rest of the world should abandon band plans because the US says
