[Boatanchors] ARRL Band Plan

[Jim Wilhite]

That makes two of us Pete.  However I have faith, not saying you don't, that 
the majority of operators would be considerate and  segregate as to mode.

I know some guys who have been on 3.933 for over 50 years and meet every day 
for about an hour.  They probably would never change.

I would also like to see the FCC create a semi-official group who would 
collect evidence of improper operation and forward to the FCC for review and 
possible punishment after contacting those involved directly to ask for 
cooperation.  I know this would be way out of question but it would be nice.

I'm all for a one-class amateur license. Prospective amateurs merely file
FCC Form 610WOW(I made this up) to apply for an amateur license. As it
stands today, amateur license testing does not prove or validate any
amateur radio operator competency or knowledge; it merely validates a
person's ability to memorize answers to questions.

Of course giving all amateurs access to all the amateur band segments and
modes, may bring new meaning to "busy" band or band congestion,

Time will tell.
