Don't loose the novice bands - I've got more people hooked on CW 
because of the lighter than other bands and the almost guaranteed 
slower speed.  The people you meet there are either 1-new to the 
hobby and really appreciate you working them or 2- great hams 
that will go out of their way to work you, no matter how bad you 
are.

Anyway, I keep telling people that the Novice bands are full of 
noise from the broadcasters and they will be ran over if they 
tried to run voice there.  Way too much noise for voice.  Yes 
that's true, way to much noise.
