That is a good question.  The good ole USA has more restrictions on 
their operation than any other country.  Why?  Probably because of all 
the bureaucracy of the Federal Government and if we don't write a bunch 
of rules people are not doing their jobs????

J6 does not have the same power limits on 30m that we do.   They can 
operate with 1500 watts, which I think many US amateurs do as well even 
though the limit is 200 watts.  I suspect many other countries in NA 
allow more power than 200 watts so why is it just the US getting the 
short end of the deal?

You can operate CW anywhere.  Why not RTTY?

Why are we one of the few countries that have SSB subbands?  Just 
because we have more people or the Feds know that we can't be trusted to 
gentleman type agreements?

I guess this might be a good question for CQ to ask their new Columnist 
that used to work at the FCC.
