Gerry, Digital cannot move up. Under the rules and regulations, digital is not permitted areas where Phone and image are authorized.

Might be a thought for digital to move up in all this large amount of space you mention (3600-4000).

The density of US phone activity should be much less than the present and considering the essentially local character of the band, proximity should allow Canadians to operate successfully within the 3600 - 4000 area. Anyone who moves down on top of digital activity is simply looking to cause intentional interference to digital users. 73, ...

As you push down your phone band, hams in countries like Canada will move some of their phone operations down as well. Your example on 80 with phone down to 3600 and digital below that may well be more like US phone to 3600 and Canadian phone down to 3575 with digital and CW squeezed into the last 75 khz. This will no doubt lead to competition for space as now happens on 40 around 7050-7060 between Canadian and DX SSB and US CW. Canada does not have sub-bands and should we choose, we can operate any mode anywhere. We use the bands based more on a "gentleman's agreement" (no, it's doesn't always work well) and would hope these new US assignment will work themselves out for all users of the bands.
