Well, it gives us a window to work with, for
a few countries.


For as long as I can remember there's been a "window" on 40 meters where
I've been able to work any country in EU. Starts at 7.000 and stretches
upward for 100KHz.

Not true for phone ops though, is it?

Actually, quite a few of the EU countries have opened 7100-7200 to their
hams as a result of the outcome of WRC-03.

About 2 weeks ago, I worked G0EVY, Dave, in central UK, on about 7195 SSB
from my mobile at around 11:00 pm EDT while driving back from a ham club
meeting in New Jersey. Dave was a solid S9+ and indicated that he's on that
part of the band practically every night for several hours.
