...To the Chicken Littles of the amateur radio community: The sky isn't
going
to fall and the amateur bands will not descend into chaos if the subband
restrictions are relaxed or removed. The only problems that I ever hear
seem
to occur during contests...and perhaps, if people are concerned about
contesters operating incompatible modes, violating the IARU bandplans, and
"stepping on" DX windows, they should lean on the organizations that
sponsor
those contests: ARRL, CQ Magazine, some of the foreign clubs and societies,
etc., getting them to limit the contests to portions of each band
(voluntarily, not through government regulation) and to disqualify any
contester who doesn't comply with the IARU bandplans. If enough contest
logs
are thrown out due to contesters violating the IARU bandplans, those
contesters will clean up their act quite fast. No contester wants to
operate
all weekend, only to get a score of ZERO!

Phil,
If you are a member of the Topband Reflector, I suggest you post a copy of
that message there. Otherwise, could I have your permission to quote the
above snip and post it?
