It will look good to people who want what it proposes but has high odds of being rejected by the FCC since the FCC has a long history of shooting down automatic upgrades. They get the "attaboy" for "trying" and can then lay it at the FCC's door when it fails even though they may want it to fail. SHAME! Thinking improper and vulgar thoughts about the ARRL! Say 100 Hail Hirams as penance and sin no more. LHA / WMD You probably realized that Dee D. may be assuming the role of "devil's advocate" here (by overplaying an idea to generate further discussion). In other words, we might not want to take her words at face value until she clarifies what she really means. So, Dee D., what did you really mean to say above? Basically I think the ARRL Board knows that the free upgrades means that their proposal probably will not be adopted in this form. The FCC has never gone along with free upgrades before and there is no evidence that they would do so now. However, I believe they tossed it in as another idea for the FCC to consider in developing whatever the FCC decides to do, if they decide to do anything at all. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
