I'd love to hear your comments or your response to my opinion. If you have an article you'd like to share or an opinion you'd like to express, this is the place to do it.
All dark type is quoted from the article.
White type is my paraphrasing or opinion. The ARRL says its request seeking an FCC declaratory ruling affirming the value of bandplans was mishandled by the FCC and misunderstood by the amateur community. In comments on RM-9259 filed with the FCC in May, the ARRL says it never intended to propose any changes to the amateur rules, and its request should not have been treated as a rulemaking petition. Unfortunately, I was unable to download the comments or replies posted on the ARRL web site listed below before I posted this. I will continue to try to access those files so I can find out what the ARRL actually intended.
