Leigh. What I had asked them for originally was to allow all image emissions as defined in part 97 (c)(3) in the RTTY/Data subbands. I had used the MixW scheme of mixing digital telegraphy and an analog SSTV type emission as an example. I also used Hellschrieber as an example. What I wanted them to do was to add a footnote to 97.305(c) which would have appeared in 97.307(f) and would have stated that "image emissions with a bandwidth of 500 Hz or less would be authorized". The footnote would have appeared in 97.305(c) in the column labelled Standards, see ยง97.307(f), paragraph: . For some reason they chose not to do what I had suggested. If you look at the comments that specifically address 04-140 you will see that most respondents asked the FCC to include many more emissions designators in their definition. In my final comment, I re-suggested what I have written above. One thing for sure, what is asked for in a petition is not necessarily what you will get. I think that we will get a much more liberal set of regulations that what the ARRL has proposed. That is just my gut feeling, no scientific evidence.
