Title: Comment deadlines set in FCC "Morse code" proceeding
Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on September 02, 2005, 05:51:52 PM
Still have time to file comments on the code proceeding.
From the ARRL:
The deadline to submit comments on the FCC Notice of Proposed Rule
Making and Order (NPRM&O) in WT Docket 05-235, released July 19, is
October 31. Reply comments are due November 14. The NPRM&O proposes
to do away with the 5 WPM Morse code requirement for all license
classes. The FCC turned away several other petition requests,
however, including proposals to create a new entry-level license
class.

Comment deadlines are established by the NPRM&O's publication in the
Federal Register, which occurred August 31.

To file on-line comments on the FCC NPRM&O in WT Docket 05-235 or to
view others' comments in the proceeding, visit the FCC Electronic
Comment Filing System (ECFS) at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ecfs/.
Interested parties also may submit comments via the Federal
eRulemaking Portal, http://www.regulations.gov/.

Does it really matter or would we just be farting into a gale wind?

It all depends if you're satisified with the FCC's code decision and all the rest of the proposals that were rejected by them. Of course, if you're really unhappy, you could send them a comment that the "petition sucks", but it probably wouldn't get much attention from them.
