I see it thus, 105 years after US amateurs were banished to the "useless wavelength of 200 meters", here we are with not one but two official international allocations "above" 200 meters. The commercial use of those wavelengths has waned in favor of technologies utilizing much shorter wavelengths and we hams are "back home", so to speak. Granted, King Spark is long gone and not coming back but we now have access to modes and techniques that our pioneering forefathers could not have conceived of.
I find it fantastic to have this opportunity and challenge.
