[RTTY] The Empire Strikes Back....... RM-11708

[Steve Dyer]

So many logical fallacies in this but my favorite:

"..the ARRL said comments opposed to its initiative reflect a “fundamental misunderstanding”.."

Clearly if you oppose this you are clueless.

Further:

"...and as an artificial and arbitrary filter on the types of emissions that can be utilized by radio amateurs."

What protocols are filtered? Nothing explicitly stated by the ARRL so we are left to conjecture.

“The Commission has properly chastised the Amateur Service for 
resisting deregulatory proposals that are designed to enable amateur 
experimenters to refine and adapt technologies,”

Uh oh, we are also not towing the line with the FCC if we oppose this. Maybe they will have the NSA monitor the RTTY sub-bands.


The amusing thing is there are a handful of people on the planet that have ever written the code for any new protocol and never once did an innovator raise their hand and say the existing rules where a hindrance to their progress.

The ARRL has never answered the simple question -- of all the rules that need or could be updated, why this one?
