In reality it should probably be "no" to every question with the
following comments:
1) expand 80 meter data to 3675 not 3650 ...
2) place the "automatically controlled data" segments at 3570-3575,
7115-7120, 14130-14140, 21180-21190 and 28280-28290 *ONLY* - no
automatic control on 30, 17 or 12 meters due to the limited
available spectrum.
3) require *all* automatically controlled data - including the "auto-
responding stations" - operate in the automatic control sub-bands.
4) require all automatically controlled data stations include fully
functioning "channel busy" detectors calibrated for 125% of the
bandwidth to be used including any "enhanced speed" modes.
5) require all automatically controlled data stations - including
"auto-responding stations" and US licensed amateurs operating
systems off shore - list their frequencies, operating times, and
control operator telephone number in a publicly accessible database
7) require any manually controlled digital station include visual means
(e.g. spectrum display or "waterfall") to determine if the transmit
frequency is busy before transmitting *or* include a functioning
"channel busy" detector calibrated for 125% of the bandwidth
to be used including any "enhanced speed" modes.
6) allow Novice/Technician licensees RTTY (45.45 baud, 170 Hz shift)
and PSK31 only within their current and the expanded 80 meter
licensed spectrum.
These will all required FCC action but should be much less
controversial than RM-11708.

Honey, who do you want me to vote for?
Based on what is best for the RTTY contesting and general QSO community vs
ulterior motives that might exist, looking at their survey at
http://www.arrl.org/bandplan , should it just be all "No" responses?
