The only way that this issue is going to be solved is for the ITU to step in 
and set up band plans for each mode/bandwidth on each band more especially on 
the HF bands. I am not sure how often the ITU meets, every 3-5 years. Every 
country should have a member and provide input from their amateur operators. I 
believe most all countries have an origination very much like the ARRL here in 
the US. They could provide that member with the request/recommendation and come 
up with a plan that we all could live with

Ham radio in an international hobby and all band plans should be the same 
throughout the world. Operating ham radio is not a "right" but a "privilege", 
we have the "right" to apply for a license. We also agree to operate by the 
rules and regulations set up by each country's government. If we don't like the 
rules and regs, we can ask for changes or just not operate. We have to look at 
all things when we want to make changes. What I like and want may not be what 
someone else likes and wants.
