The Novice Class license should be just for that...Novices. When
one has gained experience and confidence in what they are doing, it's
time to move up. Then they will have more than adequate spectrum in
which to "communicate".

And many of them will be perfectly content to remain Novices
"forever".

Your bandplan only addresses HF. Ninety-nine percent of
"emergency communications" takes place above 50mHz.

Amen. What little HF emergency-related ham comms actually do take
place are not emergency comms, they're post-disaster H&W comms.

Nice try, Bonnie. You're thinking, and that's good, but the
ultimate result was all you did was expand the phone bands on HF where
very little "experimentation" is going on anyway.

There's virtually NO new-mode experimentation going on anywhere in any
ham bands. We have high bands where all sorts of "multimedia" wideband
ops are already quite legal. But all we hear is the talk, the walk
simply isn't happening. Why would it be any different on the HF
bands??

The concept of reshuffling the whole deck to "promote experimentation"
has been around for eons, it's a cyclic refrain which pops up every
few years and here's the current iteration.

The problem with "new modes" has nothing to do with the regs,
allowable bandwidths or any of the rest of the usual micro-managed
"grand plans". It's a MARKETING problem, pure and simple.
