If you wish to file your comments with the ARRL regarding their bandwidth
proposal, there is little time left to do so. Comments should be sent
to:



It is my understanding that the proposal, in it's current form, will
allow
WL2K stations control of nearly 40% of ALL of our current allocations in
the

snippety

What would really have helped is links to sites that support your
assertions. I've visited both the ARRL site at this link:

http://www.arrl.org/news/features/2005/04/01/1/?nc=1

...and winlink.org at this one...

http://winlink.org/sysop/PMBO_FREQ.htm

...and I can't find anything which leads me to believe that there
would be any sort of "packet-spewing robots" polluting the HF bands. In
fact, I don't see anything other than a neat-looking project to
establish a worldwide digital network that does not depend on the
Internet.

Except for the minor points that WinLink2K requires the internet
to work, and uses the internet to "forward" it's traffic ...

If you can give a clearer explanation of how you came to your
conclusions, including some specific references to back them up, I will
cheerfully make my voice heard at ARRL (I'm a lifetime member).

Read up on WinLink2K, AirMail, etc. Google will help.
