[CW] Elimination of CW-Only Sub-bands

[Danny Douglas]

"This petitioner apparently doesn't understand that there are currently only two 
amateur radio frequency bands where all license classes are restricted to using CW 
only. These are the 6 Meter and 2 Meter bands." 
Reading that, I almost dropped dead, and had to look at my chart, cause I have been using voice and RTTY on both bands for decades. Later on, he clarified that as to they are the bands that have a CW ONLY portion. I pretty much agree with the rest of that, but want to clarify that we need an area, even in those bands, where we keep our data transmission away from CW - and this is provided, although I certainly don't understand why those cw only portions are so small, given the very wide band to start with. 
Back in the day, it was all "antenna bandwidth" so if one had an antenna for one end of the band (cw for us aficionados) it was hard to get a good SWR for voice down there. 160 meters, where we do not have even that small portion of CW only, could certainly use it.
