Paul the FCC and ARRL are different critters than legislators. There was a
recent
RM from the ARRL that got flooded with form responses and when it was pointed
out to the commission they were not real happy campers.....they even made a
footnote about the source in the denial.

Well- OK but I think at minimum you need to promulgate some principle talking
points that folks should include in their submission.
Jeff- I understand your point but; Just as an aside "Form" letters from thousands if not millions of Veterans have stopped many
pieces of onerous legislation in their tracks. Politicians listen to numbers, not sure why ARRL or FCC wouldn't. It seems to me we
are at the point of pulling out all stops. Why play by their rules.

Paul,
The problem is the FCC does not like form letters - they consider it spam.
And the ARRL will want to lump a form letter from X-number of guys into one
as well.
It's best if you write it out just like you have it here, from the heart.
It would count more for either audience.
