I'm not enough of an old timer to remember hams losing the 11m band. It
took place five years before I obtained my first license. I am pleased
that you've been provided a haven for your HF radio activity.

By the way, radio amateurs are "ordinary civilians" who happen to have
passed a license exam.

I have yet to meet a ham who "stewed" over loosing 11 meters. It was
hardly used, the only thing anyone might "stew" about is how it has
turned into the sewer pit of the radio spectrum by the cbers who refuse
to follow rules.


And I might add for senior citizen lenny's benefit, that is what happens
when you let civilians legally use radios on HF without a test, Morse or
otherwise.
