Interesting observation.
Wasn't W1AW on 40m much higher in frequency years ago....around 7060 or
thereabouts? Did they move down to avoid the digital modes?
Methinks with the CW portion of the band being pretty sparsely populated in
the evenings gthese days maybe they will move lower and avoid the other
region's SSB plan. Maybe someone should mention to the county hunters and
FISTS and the QRP'ers (the hardcore ones, not me) that they need to relocate
their calling frequencies because of potential QRM to SSB'ers in another
region.
hmmm
