That statement by Keith says a lot.  Sure we studied and earned the
privilige for the extra slice of spectrum.  But very little do I operate
in the EXTRA ONLY portions of the band.  There is so many more folks out
there in the General portion, it too is where I hang out, both on CW and
SSB!

Actually, when I first upgraded I went straight to the lower 25 Khz and
stayed there.  My ham world shrunk to a small sliver of each band.
Before long I had gotten bored with ham radio.

It wasn't until I got back into CW for fun using straight keys & bugs
and I got out of the lower 25 Khz, that I began to have fun again!

I still check the lower 25 when I'm fishing for DX but that's about it.
