It's interesting to see a groundswell of reaction to how and what the League has concluded about Comments filed regarding its Petition.
There may soon be an extension of the public comment window to accomodate folks like yourself who wish to weigh in. Now, regarding the "other" Petition in this proceeding, RM-11305, cooked up by a seven-member Communications Think Tank... ------- Todd had asked -- Paul, will the group involved with RM-11305 be filing a reply as well? It would be nice if some of the issues raised by those who objected could be addressed, bringing the proposal in line with any appropriate treaties, laws, promises, or whatever else. -------- Yes. Several of us, including myself, filed individual Reply Comments offering a compromise that would essentially take the more relaxed segments seen in the IARU Region 2 Band Plan which was approved in 1998. It would be short of allowing any vacant frequencies to be free for all to use. Happily this plan also already provides for slots called "digimode" that could serve as incubation zones for new digital schemes. It baffles me why the group in Newington didn't think of this, since the ARRL is the "member society" in the IARU representing the U.S. They endorsed the plan !
