So why aren't the SSB operators taking advantage of the new space below 3700? Maybe because they don't have Extra class tickets. That's one one reason some of us also remain above 3800.

They just stay were they are and complain when all these FQS go un used...There is very little activity in the new Phone portion. Also a lot of the guys have never upgraded to extra. There is no excuse for that now. It is simple... Well okk guys have at it LOL...

Before you respond with a statement that these frequencies are being utilized, then, why all the talk about 3870, etc.? A lot of us grumbled over the years that the F.C.C. was not listening to our petitions, but then when it - to our surprise, I might add - it allowed us to move down to 3600 Khz., the first night it was full of AM, then, the frequencies became conspicuously quiet, so to speak. Anyone want a QSO on 3712 or 3685 Khz, sometime? I am about ready to recut my dipole to 3880 again!
