GB> SSB ops clear down to 7000 kHz on 40m, Grrrr

[Brian Carling]

Good point about ARRL too - SURELY there are some CW ops 
working at HQ who are being bothered by that too????

Are we living in some daydream world and the only ham 
employees left at Newington are guys who only work 
VHF-UHF FM and digital on HF?

I am beginning to think that is a serious possibility. If there 
ARE any exceptions I wonder if they are speaking up??
