The so called "band plan of no SSB below 7040 KHz" has nothing about CW above
7040.
With all respect :
This statements suggests ignorance of the Region 1 Bandplan.
Why do people need to operate CW above 7040 KHz in CQWW CW?
Duh, because there are no clear frequencies. Why do people transmit SSB
below 7040 KHz? Same reason. How many SSB contests a year create problems on
40 meters? ARRL phone,
CQWPX, CQWW is about it. Three weekends a year, twice in March, once in
October. This is a problem ? Sometimes the solution of wall to wall SSB
stations from 7040 to 7100
is not to add another element to the 40 meter beam or another KW to the
amplifier, but merely to find a clear frequency.
There is a superb French word "cohabitation" which comes to mind. We do not
want angry fellow hams. The whole point of bandplans is to avoid
confrontation ! Let us stick to it!
