Hope not to get off topic for TB. The primary reason there is no digital at the bottom end of 6 meters is that it is not legal in the US. 50.000-50.100 is CW only. I am sure there would be a huge outcry if it was legal down there.
I operate JT65 on VHF EME but, (aside from some tests back in 2006) I have avoided it on 160m because it did not seem to be welcomed and no DX seemed willing to try. Will mostly stick to CW unless there ends up being a strong consensus on where JT/digital should be on 160.
