To really get to the heart of this matter, someone needs to start digging
and try to find the money trail.
That may lead you to a few that are really pushing this.

Subject: [RTTY] Why has the ARRL pushed so hard for RM-11708? Perhaps
theanswer has been found. You decide for yourself.
Folks,
The presentation titled "Why has the ARRL pushed so hard for RM-11708?
Perhaps the answer has been found" was presented to the Central Texas DX
and Contest Club last night and was well received. The presentation is now
on-line in web format at:
http://SaveCW.com/Rm11708Interests.htm
The presentation details the ARRL BOD actions for Winlink and developing
recreational boater products that are causing interference across the
amateur bands. It also details the interference by Winlink stations to the
W1AW Centennial operation and a response from K1ZZ at HQ to just go spin the
dial.
After reading the web page ask yourself the following questions. Has
amateur radio been hijacked by recreational boaters? Do you feel the
majority of traditional amateur radio operator interests are being
discounted in favor of a minority special interest group? What happened to
traditional core amateur radio values of transparency, self policing, not
competing with commercial services, and not transmitting quasi-encrypted
waveforms? Finally, ask yourself is this what amateur radio is really
about?
As documented on the web site there are many folks concerned about the
direction the ARRL is taking and about additional damages caused by
RM-11708. There are many reasons why RM-11708 is bad - all documented at
www.SaveCW.com or www.SaveRtty.com.
Please take a few minutes and log a comment against RM-11708 with the FCC.
It's a simple process and only takes a few minutes. Detailed instructions
for filing a FCC comment can be found here
<http://www.savecw.com/RM11708.pdf> .
Please forward this email to all reflectors and anyone you feel may be
interested in helping save our amateur spectrum.
Thanks,
Terry AB5K
