[CQ-Contest] new 75 m privileges

[Mike K9MI]

I agree with you Jim. I think 3650, giving the phone portion 100 khz would 
have been a little more realistic. With it changing to 3600, that is going 
to force Rtty stations to go probably, as low as 3525. Major RTTY contest 
are going to put a squeeze on the weekend 80 meter casual ops, and if there 
is a rare DXpedition working split on 80 meters that weekend, that is a 
potential problem also. There is no question that the 75m phone could use 
more space, but IMO 3650 or even 3625 would have been a better choice. I 
know the majority are probably all for 3600, but it's really going to put a 
squeeze on the other modes.

73, Mike K9MI
