True, but I'm somewhat more troubled by the lack of discussion, concern,
and formal comments on this issue regarding the ARRL's "Regulation by
Bandwidth" petition now before the FCC (RM-11036). I think the comment
period has closed, unfortunately. You can find it and what comments
that have been filed at the FCC's website. If you want a copy of mine,
email me direct. For the record, I am a long term member of the ARRL,
will remain so, and nearly always find myself in support of its actions
before the FCC. In this case, I am most assuredly *not*.
Just because two emissions have similar bandwidths does *not* imply that
they can operationally coexist in the same spectrum, for a number of
reasons. Sandy has pointed out one of them. It now appears that, for
totally different reasons and in response to a totally different
petition, the FCC has given us a real live laboratory to watch this happen.
