[RTTY] Director response

[Kai]

Ron,
Hold on a sec...  Your Director got it badly wrong and is doing a serious 
disservice by guessing. The CURRENT regs already have that "unspecified code" 
language in 97.307.  The ARRL proposal does not have a "drafting error".

Your Director really needs to know what actually is in the present regs and how 
it plays with the ARRL proposal, rather than guessing. Read the current regs, 
then see the ARRL Appendix for what they actually propose to change. It does 
make sense, the ARRL Appendix is correctly worded.

I, for one, agree with the ARRL proposal, except that I'm still not sure about 
the 2800 Hz BW figure. Maybe it's ok, maybe it's too wide. But, so far, I can 
find no supportable cite-able evidence (not speculation or anecdote) that 2800 
Hz would cause harm to current users.

Respectfully
Kai, KE4PT
