Perhaps those who are in favor of RM-11306 took the wise advice not to mail bomb the FCC with comments that all say the same thing. There is only strength in numbers when that strength has a purpose. I personally see no purpose in asking over 5,000 US hams who use local or automatic control

In my perspective, it doesnt matter how many do not physically vote in an election, or by comment. Everyone who does NOT vote, has just voted for the winning side of the election. Quite often the non-voters outnumber the voters, and could have changed any election by voiting. Just look at our
