Mark:   Very perceptive of you... in the long run, the FCC has a lot of better things to do than spend their limited resources continuing the excessive regulation of the Ham Bands... Removing the Telegraphy licensing barrier and reducing excessive Ham Regulation will go a long way to reducing the burden on the FCC and many of their pronouncements over the past few years show that is the way they are leaning.....  So maybe the FCC might take one giant step and bring Ham Radio into a 21st Century Regulatory Regime in one broad stroke...   __________________________________________________________ Howard S.

If I was forced to make a wager, that is where my money would go.  We will have to see how the telegraphy testing rule pans out.  That will tell us what type of regulatory environment the suites the FCC.  They have refused to mode segregate 160 meters, they refused to set a maximum bandwidth for telephony, and they want to drop telegraphy proficiency testing.  I think a trend is starting to show.  I would expect some sort of omnibus re-alignment of part 97. 73, Mark N5RFX Need a Digital mode QSO?
