I agree. The 75 meter band needs to be opened up to voice lower in
frequency. The
current allocation for CW only makes no sense. Even running a CW subband
from 3500
to 3600 would be a help but I suspect it could be smaller than that and
still be no problem
for CW ops.
Just because I intend to use CW forever I am not in favor of protecting a
larger than
needed subband. I am in favor of subbands though.

I don't find this so much a problem.  I believe there is a similar CW
subband on 2 m. as well.  That represents only 1/40 of the 6m band.  It
would be the equivalent of a 12.5 kHz kHz CW band on 80m.

The real problem is with the outdated subband restrictions we have on HF.
For example, 50% of the 3.5-4.0 mHz band is restricted to accomodate
communications that could easily fit into less than 20% of the band, even
during CW contests.
