WARC bands are "OK", but short paths that occur on 30 meters are very rare. It would have been nice if FCC had authorized CW dead on the "carrier frequencies" of the 60 meter channels!

This when 80 and 40 is "loaded" with contesters on weekends.

I still get the idea FCC wants to end Morse for good. The ARRL seems to be going along with this trend.

Since the FCC decided to throw away Morse code, courtesy has all but disappeared, and contests have almost totally taken over. There is little places to go and have a CW QSO anymore. Most of the CW ops nowadays seem to be contesters so you either join them or stay off the air. There seems to be no place to go anymore on HF.

WARC bands?
