In part because thanks to a really idiotic move by the FCC, 3.6 − 3.7 MHz CW in the USA is available only to Amateur Extra Class licensees! Among other things, this keeps many CW traffic nets from moving above a little bit above 3.6 MHz on weekend evenings to avoid QRM from the various RTTY contests that occur numerous times during the year.
