While this is off topic for the Amps list given the gravity of the situation
is definitely worthwhile and relevant. The rulemaking number is 04-37

Thanks Mark Good to see we have an OWL with eagle eyes. Man this doesn't look
good, only 45 days for an initial comment period and 30 days for the Reply
Comment period. Looks like Powell is holding true to form and doing everything
he can to ram this measure through as fast as he can. He pulled this with the
Broadcast Ownership "reform" measure last year. Ok gang this is the big one !
Get out your text editting programs and get typing. Once you have your comments
ready and saved in their final form call up this link:
http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi Enter 04-37 in "Row
1"complete Rows 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10. Go to Row 12 it should have defaulted to
"comment" if not select "comment" from the drag down menu. Bext proceed to the
green field below the cover sheet on the right hand side where it says "File"
click on "Browse" and proceed to locate the comments you just saved. Once you
have found the file double click it to attach them. Then click on "Send
Attached Fil
e to the
FCC". And your done ! Just that easy, just that quick. While it is not
necessary to use a Legal Format face sheet it does lend an air of
professionalism. What is important is to double space your text . The FCC has
to deal with reams of paperwork. Single spaced comments will be read but very
few will find their way to the commissioners desks. To read existings
comments click on: http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/comsrch_v2.cgi enter
04-37 in Row 1 Do not enter any other data. Proceed to the bottom of the page
and click "Retrieve Document List". The will bring up an index list of all
filings on that particular ruling. Click on the link in the lower lefthand
corner to bring up the filing. There you have it. The comment period will
close 45 days after the notice is printed in the Federal Register. Which has
not occurred as of 23-Feb-2004. There is no need to rush but if the commission
is swamped early it will go a long ways to securing an extention. To Steve
Dyer given
the
gravity of the situation I would think it would be prudent to set aside some
time at the next meeting to discuss what the club's response will be. By time
April Meeting rolls around the comment could be very close to ending. HIT' EM
