[RTTY] FCC Grants Temporary Waiver to Permit Higher Symbol Rate Data Transmissions

[Jim Johnson]

Well I guess this is the beginning of the end to symbol rate restrictions on HF atleast as we 
know it today.  

I found it interesting that the FCC letter indicated that the majority of the comments they had 
previously received were in favor of change to the symbol rates.  I certainly was not in favor 
of it and submitted my comments according and I will sure that many of you did also.  But I 
guess the digital commnity has larger voice these days and the support of the ARRL!
