"Acting on the premise that the amateur bands must flexibly and
comfortably accommodate present and future operating modes and
technologies over the long haul, the ARRL Executive Committee has
reached consensus on recommendations to the ARRL Board of Directors
for
a regulation-by-bandwidth proposal. Meeting April 9 in Denver, the
panel adopted recommendations that will form the basis of a draft
ARRL
petition to the FCC seeking to govern the usage of amateur spectrum
by
emission bandwidth rather than by mode. The proposals remain only EC
recommendations at this point . . . "

This nonsense needs to be killed FAST and killed NOW. It represents
gross overregulation. It's HQ trying to fix a system which isn't
broken. Again. It's time to rise up against it en masse.

You know, I recall the ARRL saying that they had no "concensus" wrt
reducing/dropping the morse code exam, but I'll be damned if they
didn't find concensus wrt to this. I'll watch QST for the results of
that "substantive" survey they must've done.
