I agree, Rick.
Continuing to use 20M as an example, I doubt that the ARRL's
bandplan will restrict phone operations to anything less than 14150-
14350; thus all wideband digital modes will likely be restricted to
14100-14150. The contention between 3500 hz keyboard-to-keyboard and
semi-automatic QSOs in 14100-14150 will be intolerable unless
operators of semi-automatic stations start losing their licenses if
their stations habitually QRM in-progress QSOs while responding to
remote requests.
