Why is it not OK to freeband on unused parts
of 11 and 10 meters?

Organized, long term freebanders are very aware
where they operate and take great measure to
ensure against talking on an amateur frequency
or one that isn't heavily used on the freeband.
If the non-U.S. stations can operate ssb there,
why shouldn't I, especially if I want to have a nice
DX contact with one of them?

Many of us LIKE the law as it is, it keeps "yes men"
off the freqs. Same analogy as the gun issue...
when guns are outlawed only outlaws will have
guns...no, you won't find many freebanders lobbying
for change to open the freqs because the law as
it reads, doesn't bug us.

No rationalization is even needed except to reply to
folks that repeatedly ask over and over, "Why?" It is
these folks that feel they need a reason why we do
what we do, not us.
