The whole 'reason' that the ARRL gave to the FCC to justify for these
frequencies was emergency use - especially between the Southern U.S. and the
Caribbean when 80 was too short and 40 was too long during Huricane season. How
many frequencies do we need for that?

Maybe if we were better regulated (from within), more 'professional', and
serious about maintaining order on the bands, the government would actually
welcome us. It makes perfect sense why they only gave us five channels if
you've ever spent 15 minutes listening to some of those jokers on 80 and 20m
SSB. SSB ops are what have driven me to CW only.
