[Fists] What Is Most Important

Lots of emotion showing about the code issues with ARRL.
However, since SSB damages CW far more than the reverse, I
believe the critical issue is to ensure that dedicated CW
spectrum is preserved to a maximum degree.  Particularly
important given the growth in digital modes that will share
SSB-free spectrum.

Equally important is the fight against PLC.  Won't matter
what modes we are trying to use if that horror story is
allowed to proceed.  Seems bizarre that it could have even
gotten this far and that your FCC Chairman would still be
speaking in favour of it.

The ARRL move to allocate 3725 - 3750 to SSB will likely
push Canadian operations (lots of nets) into the 3700 - 3725
KHz range unfortunately.
