Do you really believe you can't win a frequency contest on CW against a
sidebander?  Believe me, he will have a much harder time copying through
your loud CW than you will through his SSB!  Besides, it does not
necessarily follow that we will lose our CW subbands simply because the CW
requirements for licensing may be relaxed.  We have "gentlemen's agreements"
in effect today regarding subbands and they seem to work pretty well.  I
can't think of a reason why we couldn't have "gentlemen's agreement" CW
subbands in the future whether or not they are dictated by FCC rules.
Personally, I hope the FCC relaxes the CW proficiency rules for those who
want to operate in the full phone segments of the HF bands, but keep them in
place for those who want to operate on the low ends of the various HF bands
on CW, and at the same time, continue to keep the CW subbands in the rules.

Tom,

Could you give me a little more information about the choke arrangement,
value, etc. that you mention in your message below.  Or if there is a
reference, please let me know and I'll look it up.

Thanks for your help, 73  Rod
