I suggest hams be accorded squatter's rights on any band with less than
10% usage in any thirty day period.

I say: if hams find a stretch of RF Real Estate that's lying idle, we
get to use it until and unless the assigned users make their presence known.

That is not what the band plan is about.

It is about where, in the amateur bands, which modes are used, not where
amateurs can operate.
