If the FCC only permits voice communication on CB, doesn't that
prevent deaf people from using the band? I think TTY, as well as CW,
should be permitted for that reason alone. If it became a petition,
would it pass?



The CW of course, would have to be done with a computer printing it out OR
via some sort of pulsating light or other means that they could "feel" to
detect the message being sent. As for it being passed, I think it could be -
if someone pressed the ADA laws, showing it to be discriminatory to those
who are deaf. Could make some interesting changes come about for CB! Never
know until you try........
