I think it's too late for that Jim. The ARRL is not going to withdraw their
proposal. The petition is already to the FCC. The only
way to defeat it now is for EVERYONE to send in their comments opposing the
change. If it is not defeated, it becomes law and we are
stuck with it.
Only after the proposal is defeated should any dialog be opened with the ARRL
in order to present a petition which would eliminate
the existing symbol rate and replace it with a reasonable bandwidth limit or to
allow digital signals of 2.8 kHz to reside in the
PHONE and IMAGE section of the band instead of the existing Digital/CW section.

Would it be productive if a committee of "The Knowledgeable" got together to
draft an effective, succinct email to the ARRL
directors that includes the key problems with the proposal? Each of us could
either copy and paste it in an email to our respective
directors or modify/personalize it before doing so. It should include the
impact on all modes and activities, not only RTTY.
I understand it's already gone to the FCC, so responding to that is a separate
undertaking, and Don just created a web page on how
to do that. I would think that the key points in the ARRL director email would
probably be the same ones to include in an FCC
filing.
