Increased benefits if you're wanting to talk to someone else with an Extra license; if the station(s) you want to talk with are General class, you're still stuck in the crowded part of the band. I've probably spent less than 1% of my time on the air in the extra sub-bands. I don't think there's any reasonable way to get an 80m bandplan accepted and promulgated in the time available. The most likely scenario will be that everyone will feel their way through it and a consensus will appear in a few months. 73, Paul / K9PS
