I almost agree with W4TV in the last link with the exception of
expanded novice and tech privileges. The FCC recently denied a
proposal to give techs more modes on 10m citing the license class was
meant to be a pathway to upgrading to general.
On the other hand, Bill Cross who was the FCC's "Ham Guy" until he
retired last week, is quoted as saying he expects the Commission to
eventually reduce the number of license classes to only one or two.
If Technician licensees are permitted the use of data modes at VHF,
I see no reason they should be denied them in the narrow band HF
spectrum.

Hi Bill,
Here's a few good references to what's going on but in the end it's
going to be how you feel about it.

general and
since techs are currently the majority of licensees you have to wonder why
they aren't upgrading.

Can you share specific recommendations for comments?
Comments would probably carry more weight if there appeared to be a
consensus among a large group of operators.

Subject: [RTTY] ARRL band plan
The last day for input to the ARRL band plan proposal is the 19th of
this month.
If you haven't already taken the survey or sent a comment please do it
soon. The
ACDS guys are pushing to get their users to submit comments, I strongly
suspect
that if they get a lot of comments from that group they will use them to
justify
RM-11708 to the FCC. I could be wrong about that but past experience says
otherwise.
If you send comments please ask that the survey results and all comments
be made
public and send a copy to your division directors/vice directors. Here's
the link
