Alan,
Hear Hear!
There seems to be a rash of "USA uber-alles" changes to Wiki pages
recently, and sadly often on topics that they, or their sycophants, have
no direct connection with. 136kHz is one such, 5MHz is another. Admittedly
the USA has an allocation at 5MHz, but they aren't the final arbiter of
all that happens there.

It smacks of Egotism to me...
