Is there a group, club or organization that is working towards expansion of
the 20 meter phone band? If so, does anyone have their contact information?

Gee! Am I wrong? I thought the 20 meter CW band went from 14,000,000 Hz
to 14,350,000 Hz!!!

When did 47 CFR 97 change?

No. We are working towards the expansion of the 20 meter CW and
digital modes band, and the reduction of the 20 meter phone band.

47 CFR 97 applies in only one country in the world. Not in mine.

If you like CW, it is possible to move to the country that uses 47 CFR
97, No?

:-) I am a bit short sighted, Your comment is correct that 47 CFR 97
is USA and possessions, territories ONLY

Sir Walter -- No Neville Chamberlains here (;-)
Besides we have La Jolla in Calif

I cannot imagine that any sane person would wish to move to the USA
... at least not whilst it is under the present "management"!

In theory, yes, but "Good amateur practice" would say that if you want
to operate CW you probably should select a frequency that is often used
by other CW operators. Something about informal band plans and
gentlemen's agreements....

With the end result that you could only chat to other 47CFR residents, not
the rest of the civilised world.

LOL! Yes, there are some good points, I have to admit!
:-)

I am too young to remember Neville Chamberlain, but Margaret Thatcher
was bad enough ...

Are you Liberal, Socialist, Conservative, Labor, or what?

I am responsible for me!! The government is not responsible for me!! The
government provides for common good order, a common currency of
exchange, the common defense, and an independent judiciary.

Ergo, I'm Conservative and think the GWB is 95% correct in his policies.

Now, in the USA, if the Democraps wake up and get away from their
Liberal and Socialist Policies and focus on working class issues ...
then maybe ...

Now Brad, in the 47CFR sphere of regulation, I can communicate with
anyone who can copy CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK, AM, FM [above 29 MHz], etc.

Are you admitting that you are a HAM who CANNOT copy CW?? If so, shame
on you!!

You mean you have NEVER worked cross mode on any band!!!

Indeed - agree, however it is frequent for a DXer to make a phone contact
and ask the DX to change to CW (on the same phone frequency) to confirm that
mode. Perfectly acceptable under the rules and is common.
