The other thing is that would be a HUGE waste of THE FREQUENCY    .

They don't HAVE to have clean air. you can literally have two stations only 5hz apart and work them just fine!

I have had a -20 station and a +20 station only 10hz apart and work the -20 station with no trouble at all.

If everybody were calibrated that might work.  Problem is they aren't.
Many operators are off by as much as 20Hz or more.

I had a question in private email on what I mean by operating on the 50's

If everyone would operate on the 50’s, which is: set your transmit tone
frequency to multiples of 50  I.e. 200, 250, 300... ...2900, 2950, 3000.
It would immediately make more room.
Here’s an example.
Operator 1 is on 1200
Operator 2 is on 1275
Operator 3 is on 1350

Operator 2 on 1275 is taking up 2 slots.
