More importantly below 7128 there is less congestion because US stations
cannot transmit there so there's less to work down there for DX and no real
way for US stations to use those frequencies other than split operation.
Above 7200 most of Europe cannot transmit there either.
I don't get why some are so upset about this rule change. As pointed out,
CQ has had this rule for a while now and everyone just dealt with it, and
ARRL has said that it was never their intention to permit dual CQs in-band.
Time to move on.
