[CQ-Contest] new 75 m privileges

[Dennis OConnor]

Let me prophesy that it is going to be an unholy  mess... <forgive them father they know not what they did>
There are going to be turf wars between CW and all the digi modes stuffed into the bottom 100kc...  It will take a while but the digi folks will finally get disgusted and turn on the auto forwarding pingers 24/7 every five kc...  
When CW contests are on CW will billow up and froth across the traditional lower 300 kc of the band.. The new SSB nets/squatters/12KC Hi-Fi Freaks down there will be incensed and screaming at the ARRL and the FCC to get those nasty &*^(%$#  contestors out of THEIR band......
When phone contests are on and smearing the entire 3600-3900 the phone users across the other parts of the world will be incensed and will move phone operations en masse below 3600 and the CW and Digi users will be screaming...

The old saying is still valid:  Be careful what you ask for, you may get it!
