Hans, I know you think the best system would be to
simply allow all authorized modes anywhere in the
ham bands, by any licensed radio amateur.

Now that's a STRETCH!

I do believe that the FCC over-manages our allocations on most bands with their
arbitrary slicing/dicing by mode/license class, without any obvious regard to
"market forces". I'd like to see that cumbersome system replaced with a
bandplanning model similar to many UHF/VHF bands where the users (that'd be guys
like you and me) work out band plans which can be dynamically adjusted to meet
our changing needs.

The current US plan which allocates virtually 100% of our spectrum (less some
minor slices near 5MHz and 219MHz) to narrowband CW, yet restricts every other
mode regardless of popularity to smaller segments, is so backwards as to be
spherical in its backwardness (backward from every possible viewing angle).
