All the radio manufacturers would be delighted; they'd get to sell
thousands of new HF radios.

All we who still use good ole radios with bandswitches would be mainly SOL
and POed to high heaven  ;o\  ;o\  ;o\  There could be conversion articles
on some.

Why move the band DOWN: why not UPWARDS?? I.E.: Expand the phone band
upwards so the diggers and Rattiers can move back up where they were.

Neither will happen since the military and others still have allocations on
both sides.
