A cursory read through the proposal and attached amendments shows that they
have done their homework in all aspects.   The various companies have been
running experiments on air for the past 4 years. (experimental call signs
are listed)  Seems like they wish to run 20KW to a 10dBi antenna on
transmit and have a simple vertical whip on the receive end.  They also
propose interference avoidance and frequency jumping kind of like ALE.
Freqs used were 4.9, 10.2, 14.9 19.9 and 24.8 with a bandwidth of 10 KHz.

In their initial paragraphs they mention avoidance interference to amateur,
marine and aeronautical.  No mention of military in there that I saw.

Again, this was my 30 minute read of the various sections which means that
I was looking for pertinent information relating to us hams.   I am
sure there is more to be found and corrected with a further read.

Just my $.02 for now.73...Rick  W5RH

Thanks for the reply Bill. As Jim Heath points out in this video, the deadline 
for comment is two weeks away. My first thought is, we might (emphasis MIGHT) 
be better off to express our immediate concern to the ARRL defense of spectrum 
lobbyists, in hopes that they could help convey what they know to the rest of 
us (beyond what's in the petition) to give Ham World a chance to weigh in. But 
whatever we do we're already late in the process and big money backing this 
plan already has a big edge on us, if there is something here to be worried 
about.
 
Any thoughts from others? Time is running out. Let's hear it!

JP:

We may want to convene a committee of interested people to talk about what is 
proposed.  There are so many variables, not to mention the costs to construct 
and run a digital transmitter.  Also, who has digital receivers?  Currently 
there are limited AM shortwave receivers for that industry is dying (like the 
majority of the over-the-air broadcast stations due to the ubiquitous and 
massively increasing wireless internet)..
