Why not suggest QRS SS operations on 7100 to 7125, 14101 to 14125 and 
21100 to 21125 and just for the future 28100 to 28125?  Particularly on 
40M, I think this would be a good idea.  The SKCC Sprints have adoped a 
suggested alternate 40M frequency of 7113 and this seems to work very 
well, especially when the usual 7055 area frequencies are covered with 
RTTY stations. I think the state QSO Parties should do the same thing on 
40M.  73, John, K4BAI.
