[SECC] Stop policemen on 160 SSB

[K9AY]

I am not a huge supporter of the new 160 band plan, but I think it will
be a positive thing in the long run.  Activity on 160 has been growing
rapidly over the past 5-10 years as more countries have gotten new or
expanded frequencies, and with hams discovering the challenge of 
operating on this unpredictable band.

With more activity, CW/SSB separation -- just like on all the other HF
bands -- will help keep order. 

It will be a bit frustrating while people adjust to the change -- but we're 
going to see changes on other bands, too, as the Novice segments are 
"re-farmed." Just wait 'til that uproar begins -- 160 will again seem like
a gentlemen's band by comparison.
