I'll defer to someone else on that question. I have no experience with
those allocations. If the FCC has ignored them, they need to correct
the error.
Personally, I don't like any truly automatic stations in any HF/MF
band. If the FCC eliminates them entirely, no tears will be shed here.
If an actual operator were required to be present to manually activate
the auto-response on a case-by-case basis, I'd have no objection.
