Oh, hey, thanks for the clarification! I think that cw/data is  
mandatory on 30 just about everywhere.

You are, of course, right about the mode specific things. ... The  
band plans are called gentlemen's agreements for a reason. I expect  
you'd get a pretty bad rep if you fired up 2 KW on SSB at 7005 KHz.  
While legal, it might be bad manners.

Yes, the U.S. does mandate mode-specific subbands. Generally, the  
bottom half or slightly less of the band is cw and narrow data modes,  
while the upper half is phone and image (like SSTV).

Thanks for the clarification on the power limits for Canadian license  
classes. I must've read something outdated on somewhere, as I thought  
it was a bit odd to specify that the legal power limit for basic was  
250 watts DC input, which no one here has had DC input in the regs  
since...when? Twenty years at least.
