I don't want to alarm people but now is the time to influence the direction of this proposal. I am hopeful the directors will listen to us. I think it gives a little insight into why the subject has arisen. Best we be on our toes. 73 Jim de W5JPW ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Frenaye Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 5:32 PM To: WILHITE, JIM Cc: Walt Stinson Subject: Re: A rumor about ARRL At 06:30 PM 8/14/2002 -0400, you wrote: >Although I am not in your district, I wish to express my feelings that this can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on its proposal. I agree!! Quite a number of things have to be worked out before we go forward to the FCC. Any action won't be for many months (at least)! >The rumor has stated that the maximum bandwidth be limited to 3.5 KHz. If this rumor is true, I want you to know I am deeply opposed and will file comments with the FCC as will many other members of the ARRL who are involved with AM operation. > >Can you substantiate this rumor please? Nope, can't substantiate it... Setting specific limits on maximum bandwidth was not discussed at the Board meeting as far as I recall. Just a rumor, something the Internet and some users like to start! But, now that the issue has been raised, are there limits to the bandwidth of different emission types that ought to be in our goals? The FCC often speaks to "good engineering practice" and I believe they would not like to hear a 5 khz wide SSB or RTTY signal, for example. -- Tom --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.
