First, a little history about the "Wireless Institute of Australia" (WIA) member society of IARU.
In the old days there was an Advanced license class, like most other places, only accessible by also passing a decent Morse Code test. This was very resented by the Second Class amateurs in VK who has "Zoo" call suffixes, 3 letters starting with Z.
The "Z calls" were restricted to VHF, without any CW they could not go anywhere on HF at all.
There was also a novice class able to use, for example, 15m CW. They had nice segments and actively practiced CW and only had a minimal CW test to pass.
For the Z calls, even basic CW was too much of an effort, and they flatly refused. This caused a great deal of resentment among them: the ONLY difference between the Advanced Classes who could use all of HF and themselves, was a little Morse test.
A long story short, as shared by old timers who were present at the meeting, the Zoo calls made a coup, like in Animal Farm, and invited the authorities along. During this coup they seized control of WIA via a conspiracy forming a majority of votes, and thus the license classes changed.
The lowly "Zoo calls" now granted themselves Advances Class licenses, joining the ranks of the existing A Class operators, and giving themselves also the right to seize past 2 letter call signs of historic life-long CW operators. They created a new second class, upgrading the existing Novices to it, to keep them happy, but since they knew some CW they only gave them some amateur bands but not, for example 30m and other WARC bands. Such call signs begin with the letter H, P or M or something like this, no very clear system. And they created a new THIRD and lowly class onto which they could project their hatred of having suffered all those years as "Zoo calls": they created the "F*** calls" — 4 letters beginning with F and allowed anyone to get one without any real test.
Another aside, before coming to the topic of 30m and the "Zoo exceptionalism" for VK: a quick mention, the WIA started using musical jingles in its HF broadcasts after the coup, including on DX bands such as 20m and 30m in SSB, and also with a segment where people far away suddenly hear the words "HELP" from "HELPLINE" emerging out of the noise floor, in CW… showing that when the animals take over the farm you can expect Orwellian results! An illegal call for HELP on HF!
Now to 30m: of course, the Zoo calls, who now became "A Class" after the coup, and not all of these chaps are bad fellows by far, but there is a strong group among them who are, of course, could not use the prime real estate on HF, the 30m band. Why? Because SSB as a wide band mode cannot be used on 30m aside from during daylight hours in Sub-Saharan Africa. But that would not stop the Z-calls: they assigned themselves the right to use SSB on 30m and got their pals in the "Australian Clowns and Media Authority" to agree.
Then, VK5EEE arose like a phoenix out of the ashes and organized CW operators on a level never before seen, and even joined WIA to write a CW Column "CW Today" and many CW activities were organized across the cuntry. A campaign of logic was waged to persuade the WIA to stop the SSB QRM on 30m at least to neighbouring countries on which they compromised and reduced their exceptionalism to "daytime only" and above 10125 kHz. However, after hounding VK5EEE off the air, in more ways than one, and thus breaking the resolve of dozens of active CW operators who fell back under the control and prohibitions of the XYLs, a group that split off from WIA and formed "RASA" worked to yet another level of farce: now that Digital modes are more popular in VK, the SSB can again move down into the narrow band CW segment.
And nary a word of opposition.
Of course, the actual solution is to follow the international recommendations and licensing conditions of civilized advanced cultures and civilizations, where SSB as a wide mode is simply not allowed on 30m. But no, the lack of CW activity in VK on 30m, is enough reason to have SSB again at and also allowed below 10120 kHz.
Let this be a warning to those CW operators who love 30m around the world: this is what will happen if you let up on your activities! Yes, QO100 is nice, and Vband, CWcom and other things that help those who are stuck without a QRP and a short wire, or even for training and QSO, why not, it's all good for CW and our health, but, please don't forget to use 30m whenever you can!
If the option is there to set up a sked on 30, or a training session, or to call CQ or tune around, give it a try, it is a special band among CW operators and no matter your proficiency or preferred sending key or style, you'll be more than welcome!
