A perfectly legitimate question, Tom, but the point of 49 MHz is really the
same as it is for LowFERs and MedFERs and HiFERs generally.  In your own
words:
"Also, don't forget the limitations and ramifications of part 15 "
Those limitations are the point.  To be able to do _anything_ in the way of
DX at that sort of QRP is a very rewarding and gratifying pursuit to some of
us.

It's the very reason so many people are of two minds about an amateur
allocation at LF.  On one hand, we'd all love to achieve some of the things
we know would be easier without antenna limitations.  But on the other hand,
we know the nature of the game will change if the QRO crowd has access to
the whole band too.  Is a puzzlement, no?
