[CQ-Contest] Wideband signals in the CW bands

[Dale Putnam]

I could certainly be wrong, as I am not a lawyer. However, it seems to me that this proposal will very effectivelySTOP all cw within the HF bands. With wider transmissions and entire bands allocated to phone and rtty.. it becomes a mute point... well.. very mute point to attempt to run any kind of cw station, much less any qrp cw at all. With the proliferation of rtty and phone, and the over crowding of such extreme technology advancements as can beevidenced on almost every phone/rtty band, it raises the question, for me. And after scouring the current crop of ads forChristmas shopping, I don't find all that many that are encouraging building or improvement of our hands on skills, when limited to only phone or rtty operations. Where's the kits for phone and rtty? One prolific and very astute designer stated hedidn't want to design phone radios, because they were required much more time to be spend hand holding to have success for the builder.   As stated previous, I may have taken this all wrong. Yet, right or wrong, it is up to each of you to make a mark in the digital sand bycommenting on the proposal.

Have a great day,
