there are two extremely small allocations for EasyPal and FreeDV digital
modes. SINGLE FREQUENCIES, not even a slice. 14.233 (EasyPal) and 14.236
(FreeDV)



During contests, especially this current one, these frequencies are
completely unuseable, because OMs are either uneducated to what is
allocated where, or have a complete disregard.



Please, these are two single frequencies that take up half the bandwidth of
a phone QSO. Can you go to either side of them?
