[NLRS] Fw: 50 mhz CW

[Herb Krumich]

As everyone knows, 50 mhz activity on CW has been tremendous. Especially during openings and contests. So many stations can pile into a small area.
Over the last few years, as activity increases on 6 meters, the activity on 144 mhz has dwindled. Even during contests when your struggling for contacts and switch to the CW mode, there are very few stations to work.
I would like to throw this idea out to different loggers to see what the response would be.
Would it make sense to take a portion of two meters that is not used, and create an area for CW activity. I realize some people are going to say the lower portion of 144 mhz is for CW contacts. But nobody is using that area.
We generally use 20 khz on 50 mhz from 50.080 to 50.100
May I suggest 144.150 to 144.170 for CW activity. At least during contests. When I switch to CW on 50 mhz, there are many contacts made that could never be made on SSB.
I will be in contact with the ARRL to make this suggestion. 
Please throw this around on this logger and lets see where it goes.
