Well I read on qrz and eham where another petition has been submitted.

Me too, some outfit called the Foundation for Amateur Radio or some
such. Six members. I wrote a comparison of their proposal and the ARRL
one......

If
people want to delay whatever ruling the FCC finally issues that's
probably the most effective way to do it.

bwaahaahaa

If I haven't lost count, that's 16 petitions.

That agrees with my count.

Neither the ARRL nor the FAR petition has an RM number yet. And K0HB
hasn't even submitted his proposal. So we're not even close to an NPRM
yet...

Just like the '60s all over again. A pile of proposals - watch FCC pick
a bit of this and a bit of that and make nobody happy.

Maybe I should do a proposal....

The FAR is an organisation that raises money for college scholarships to be
paid to licenced hams. Their major annual fundraiser is a very large
hamfest. Not on the scale of, say, Dayton, but pretty big. I used to go to
it, but they moved the location further away. I used to be a member and get
their newsletter, which is another way they raise money, and quite a few
ham clubs are affiliated to them also.

That said, do you know what's in their petition. I am curious.
