*EXACTLY* what experimentation is being held back, Howard? This was discussed in a thread right here not three weeks ago and the conclusion was that this was a false claim. So tell us -- exactly what experimentation is being held back? I can tell you what experimentation will be held back by the bandwidth regulation proposal -- digital modes using adaptive bandwidth techniques. You won't be able to go from narrow to wide to narrow to wide unless you do it in the wideband area along with all the other wideband digital and analog signals - like the high powered SSB. That's going to be a hell of place to find a spot to experiment in, isn't it? But the ARRL -- and you apparently -- aren't concerned at all about that, right? That kind of experimentation isn't part of your "third camp", I guess. You'd rather see the entire band full of high powered SSB and aggressive ARQ modes so NO experimentation on anything else will be possible. tim ab0wr Need a Digital mode QSO?
