I think the answer is mostly right. Notice they moved all the channels up,
with ch2 now staring at 54 MHz I suspect what happened was that when the sun
spots came around, they found that there was too much interference from
stations 1000s of miles away. They gave 50 - 54 MHz to the hams. BTW, my
best distance on 50 MHz is around 10,000 miles.
