The requirements for an amateur radio license have been all over the

Therein lies the solution to the problem. Make A1 the
only mode allowed within amateur radio - solves all
the problems, doesn't it? No more mode arguments, no
more band crowding, no more expensive equipment, ...
The list of advantages is virtually endless.

The disadvantages are too. No playing with digital modes. No
innovations. No new inventions by hams. And, I have to admit, my CW
has gotten a bit rusty - I doubt I could send readable code at much
over 15wpm these days. I can still copy faster than that, though.
