There is nothing there that is harmful to CW in the least.

Well, actually there is.

At present, 3500 to 3750 kHz is CW/data space - no 'phone or image. In
that space, 3525 to 3750 is available to Generals, Advanceds and
Extras. 3500-3525 is for Extras only.

When the changes take effect, only 3500-3600 will be free of 'phone.
The space available for data modes will be reduced from 250 kHz to 100
kHz for Extras, and from 225 to 75 kHz for Advanceds and Generals.

Now it may come to pass that 3600-3750 is still used for CW by some
Extras and Advanceds. But I think it is far more likely that those
freqs will be used for 'phone, with CW being frowned upon. And they
cannot be used for data.

Well yes that segment has been shortened a bit but on the whole, the changes
should be beneficial. I particularly like the Novice/Tech+ getting more CW
bandwidth.
