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?

"Learn it... Earn it." That spectrum has always been available to all
willing to upgrade their ticket.

There are plenty of 20WPM Code-Tape Extras out there who've earned it
but don't use the mode.

Conversely, there are plenty of 5-wpm Extras who "earned" it and discovered
that CW is actually quite fun, not to mention a seriously "bitchin'" (Pardon
my French.) mode for snagging the DX that rarely, if ever, shows up on
phone.

Oops gotta run... Toly, 4L1MA just showed up on the bottom of 20. hihi
