"Prevented", as used by Jim N4JA, may be just a slight
over-statement. I would substitute "....lobbied strongly and

There's no question that one key reason the Lower 48 states have been
deprived of 'Phone privileges below 7100 KHz was successful lobbying
against that by the regular Canadian "invited Observers" at ARRL
Board meetings. The Board in turn, mostly CW enthusiasts, had no
problem persuading a neutral FCC to make it a formal rule.
