No one wants to crush the older modes -- but they can't block moving to new modes and that's what's happening now. > Sadly NO ONE beleves that somehow our fearless leaders > in Newinton are not up to something And the ARRL came > over as tring to do just that with 90% of 2 major > bands being opened for 1% of all hams. I don't believe they're up to something sinister. Quite the opposite I believe the recent actions would be far less then what we Amateurs need to survive and thrive in modern times. The problem with the current support of a certain digital message trafficing system isn't that it's being supported, but that it has significant technical shortcomings. Also the ARRL folks should build a real system of their own, not piggy back on another system. > Now back to radio ...... That is a good plan.. Bill, WA7NWP
