The money we have spent on 40 meters (very well spent in my opinion) will hopefully keep us from LOSING spectrum there, not necessarily gaining any since we already have 300 KHz. If the rest of the world gains some...we win.

How about the VLF and 5 MHz Well, Tom there are two answers to the 40 meter question. I had rather address the VLF and 5 MHz in that my feeling is we have much more of a chance to get something there than 40 meters. We have spent a lot of money on 40 and I don't see anything happening (that has been available to me) that will benefit us. Oh, regions 1 and 3 might get an additional 100 KHz, and that in itself will help the amateur community to work DX easier. Moving the BC stations out of 40? Not going to happen. Jim H.
