I agree. The 75 meter band needs to be opened up to voice lower in frequency. The current allocation for CW only makes no sense. Even running a CW subband from 3500 to 3600 would be a help but I suspect it could be smaller than that and still be no problem for CW ops. Just because I intend to use CW forever I am not in favor of protecting a larger than needed subband. I am in favor of subbands though. 73

I don't find this so much a problem. I believe there is a similar CW subband on 2 m. as well. That represents only 1/40 of the 6m band. It would be the equivalent of a 12.5 kHz kHz CW band on 80m. The real problem is with the outdated subband restrictions we have on HF. For example, 50% of the 3.5-4.0 mHz band is restricted to accomodate communications that could easily fit into less than 20% of the band, even during CW contests.
