Let's
find something worthwhile to discuss in this NG...like for example,
how do we refarm the subbands once there's no longer any need for 'em?


Not a useful discussion. Dropping the code test does not mean that there
will be no need for the existing subbands. If all 600,000+ US amateurs are
now eligible for HF operation and take advantage of that eligibility, the
bands could be really chaotic. The DX stations may very well hope we keep
the subbands in place. It will probably be even more necessary to continue
to keep the subbands and I would expect to see more emphasis placed on
following the voluntary band plans.
