[AMRadio] New Regulation by Bandwidth petition to FCC?
In the ARRL Great Lakes Division newsletter from Director Jim Weaver, K8JE, there was the following interesting item: an announcement of a new petition to the FCC for regulation-by-bandwidth. I'm not familiar with it - bears further investigation. + Regulation by Bandwidth + By now you've probably heard there is a petition before the FCC that I understand would bring a form of Regulation by Bandwidth to the US. Before anyone jumps to the wrong conclusion, this petition was neither developed nor is it supported by ARRL. How can I be sure of this? I would have had to vote on a motion to develop or to support the proposal. This had not happened and is not scheduled to happen at our Board meeting next week. So far as Regulation by Bandwidth is concerned, I've made the following statement in a number of ways, but I will make it as a straight forward promise to you. I will not vote in favor of a motion to support Regulation by Bandwidth until the time comes that its provisions are thoroughly understood by you and you support the idea. Regardless, of my personal conclusion, I do not believe regulating by bandwidth offers sufficient benefit at this time to warrant supporting it. One additional item is that I continue and will continue to support the availability of all now-legal modes of amateur operation. If the mode is legal today, I will continue to support its availability for amateur use. Jim Weaver, K8JE Steve WD8DAS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wd8das.net/ Radio is your best entertainment value.

Now THIS is an ARRL representative that I can support... no BS or beating around the bush about where he stands. When are the REST of the ARRL Division Directors gonna grow a pair?

There are two that I know about now that this message has been posted. My director was against the last proposal that the ARRL presented.

Most likely, he's referring to RM-11392. I believe public notice was issued in August 2007. There are over 600 comments to this proposal on the FCC site.
