The "regulation by bandwidth" proposal has some good basic

for prime time. The fact that so many different groups are
opposed to it, and so few in favor, shows that it needs rework.

I agree completely ... If I am elected to the ARRL Board, I will work with
the various interest groups to find ways to modify the proposal so that it
will better address the issues and concerns that have been voiced. It will
require some reasonable compromise to arrive a plan that at least a
significant majority of people can accept. It's probably totally
unrealistic to believe that it's possible to please 100% of the ham
population, but the goal should be to achieve a MUCH broader consensus. If
a preponderance of hams from the various interest groups can say "It's not
perfect in my ideal world, but I can sign up for that." we've probably
reached the best possible solution.
We're not there yet ...
