Hello, Jim

After seeing the words "good judgement" several time, I gave up. I suspect
only about 20% of the operators around use good judgement all of the time
and likely 10% never use good judgement ....

Hello Jim,

It's amazing how a basically good idea can be messed up so
thoroughly....

The "CTT" proposal is even worse than the ARRL one. Basically it calls
for
simply eliminating all the mode/subband rules. Free For All....

They allegedly did a band-occupancy study - which consisted of scanning
the
HF bands over a 12 hour period of one day. As if that would be a
representative sample.

Gotta love think tanks.....


The ARRL proposal has some good points, but they manage to ignore a lot
of
valid concerns like robot operation, and come up with a proposal that
few will support
as it stands.


I dunno what it means that FCC is only allowing 30 days for comments,
but I hope it's an indication they think both of these are bad ideas...
