Mr. Harrison announced the appointment of two committees, one to revise band plans for the bands between 902 MHz and 24.25 GHz (Minute 32, July 2003 Board meeting) and the second to review Part 97 of the FCC rules to determine what rule changes would be beneficial with regard to digital modes (Minute 32, July 2008 Board meeting).

Oh boy, here we go again!!!!!

Well if it starts to go in a bad direction like before, posting warnings of impending doom in the usenet ham groups etc. will generally produce a large number of 'restrict the digital stuff to a certain frequency area' letters and comments to the FCC. I think they take well written technical comments seriously. Thanks for watching the ARRL.
