And this would be bad ... why?  Automatic == bad, IMHO, whether it's
Pactor or RTTY or Morse and as you said, 1500 kHz is plenty of
bandwidth.  Far from (what word was used?) "stifling"  amateur
innovation, forcing narrower bandwidth should do just the opposite.

I admit to not clicking through to TFA, but I don't think it's an ARRL
petition and we all know that the FCC only mangles ARRL proposals.
:-P
