Er... but we HAD them... What has happened is wholesale
acceptance of digital modes and our wonderful NAFTA
partners stomping all over us on SSB in our CW sub-band too.

It's reaching a critical mass and now something has to be done to 
restrain the Pactor menace. The other digital modes are fairly 
predictable and stay within expected ranges of frequencies,
even if some are overlapping and annoyiong to CW ops.
