My only objection would be the suggested frequencies. All my antennas
are cut for about 50 kc above the lower band edge, and while I could
probably accomodate 80 and 40 with my tuner, there is no way in the
world I could go to 21370.

Assuming there is no net, why not move the frequencies to the bottom
of the General Class frequencies?
