http://www.iaru-regionii.org/Region_2_MF__HF_Bandplan_Annex__1_2008.pdfgo to this link and read what has already been proposed.. basically the death of AM ESSB RTTY amtor sstv and packet on hf. the max allowable bandwidth would be 2.7 for those not in the know this means that even a ssb signal would limited to less bandwith than that of an old western electric telephonium with carbonium element 300-3500 per belcore specs.
hmmmm didnt the arrl kill the hobby once before with a hairbrained idea.. oh yeah all of those extras that had to retake the exams because of the new license structure they pushed for.
this is worse than the HOA president showing up at my door with his shorts pulled up to his arm pits and his penny loafers telling me I had to plant shrubs to replace the ones that broke my sewer line. the same bushes the public works guy told me never to plant again. These people feel the need to constantly justify their existance through stupid and uneducated legislation.
oh well hopefully this will go away just like the HOA guy did when I invited him into my living room to discuss the problem. Maybe it was the AR15 that I was cleaning on the coffee table. Or maybe the M1, AK47 SKS Takaroff and the 50 cal desert eagle waiting their turn on the couch that made him decide not to press the issue. Must be because i havent heard squat about the 3 60 foot steel masts I erected in the back yard.
