So do I.

Although the channelization, ERP limitation, and restriction of SSB to 
USB only can be understood in terms of promoting coexistence with other 
services (whether or not the restrictions are really justified isn't the 
point), the prohibition of CW makes no sense at all.

To me, the whole 60-meter business indicates that the FCC just doesn't 
'get it' with respect to the nature of amateur radio.

Paul, are the Canadian rules the same as the FCC's?  Can anyone tell me 
if the UK 5 MHz allocation permits CW?
