I have actually CHANGED that view to some extent ... I could support a
reasonable "CW only" section at the bottom of each HF band. I do NOT
support phone band expansion at the expense of CW and data. I believe that
the "robot" stations that are causing harmful interference because they
can't adequately detect and avoid ongoing operations (due largely to "hidden
terminal" effects resulting fromt he nature of HF propagation) should NOT be
allowed to go anywhere in the HF bands that data is allowed. There IS a
difference between machine operation and human to human operation and the
machines are not (at least yet) smart enough to "play nice(ly enough)."
They should, therefore, be limited to reasonably-sized sub-bands.

Carl carefull there don't you know you are not allow to change your
mind

Carl's race for the Atlantic Division Directorship should be interesting
at the very least. Should he actually get elected, I'm sure the seasoned
veterans of the League will welcome him with open arms.

I am committed to working with whoever constitutes the BoD should I get
elected. No, I will not be a "yes man." Yes, I will prod them for more
progressive appoaches to many of the issues facing the League and ham radio
in general. I will do that based on input from the membership, my technical
expertise, my regulatory expertise, my proven track record of leadership and
consensus-building in IEEE standards activites and other venues, and my
dedication to a healthy, secure, and harmonious future for ham radio.
