And we already have a precedent for this, the 60 meter "band".
Brings to mind the War Emergency Radio Service (WERS) during
WW II. All work, no play. The last thing we need to do is
to change the Amateur service into a form of WERS. (We have
MARS if you like that sort of thing). BTW, why is MARS never
mentioned in these discussions?
Another slippery slope is the idea of getting various professional
emergency workers/first responders to get ham licenses, which they
will use while on the clock. Brings to mind the ridiculous phrase
"paid volunteers".
