[SECC] [CQ-Contest] Big changes in USA amateur rules willaffect CQ WW SSB

[Bill Coleman]

Won't affect CQWW Phone. It's only effective 30 days after  
publication in the Federal Register. Since that hasn't yet happened,  
and CQWW Phone is in less than 30 days, no luck.

However, it like likely affect SS Phone. Should make it possible to  
find a clear frequency on 75m, since the available space for  
operating has essentially doubled.

It also makes me wonder about the Extra class effect on domestic  
contests -- what fraction of contest participants are not Extra  
class? Is operating in the Extra-only segments going to significantly  
impact rate?
