The last time this went around as I recall over 70% of the respondents
replied that they favor a dedicated CW sub band for 160M. Of course there
was some debate about where the upper end should be but most folks could
live with 1840 or 1850 as i recall. After that it died as no one was able
to generate enough interest in Washington or Newington I guess.
I'm reminded of a little ditty from a 60's folk/protest song that went
something like this:
Should you write your congressman?? (Insert appropriate elected ARRL title
here if you so desire)
Each congressman has two ends
A thinking end and a sitting end.
Since his whole career depends upon his "seat" ......
Why bother friend.
Hope this last little bit of humor doesn't irritate ZV to the point of
getting me de-listed ~8^)
On a happier note 3D2/R and H40 are in the log for 2 new ones at my sunrise
today.
Flame suit on !
