Hi Joe,

given the varying and strict regulations on 60m I would say delete any 
60m default frequencies. Having said that, we do not have a mechanism 
for purging them from existing user's settings files and I'm not sure 
such a feature could be easily added. Maybe some special code in startup 
that removes them and sets another settings flag to stop it executing 
again, not perfect but doable.
