After listening to the pileup on 10m SSB yesterday for K1N, the 11 meter crowd is already on 10m!

Bob, not to sound overly negative but... Just how would you remove all the stations that are currently on 11 meters? you think all the the truckers and others are going to toss their radios and amps in the trash? The FCC has turned a blind eye to jamming on HF for the most part and I'm sure would not care if hams had to put up with CB ops still going on if we got 11 meters back. Also I'm surprised we have as much bandwidth as we do considering a vast majority of it goes pretty much unused,I'm not sure 11 meters would provide us anything that we do not all ready have...

Also don't forget that 11m does not stop at the border, in most countries it is still an active used band with plenty of new radios still being sold.
