[SEDXC] FW: [SECC] What is the ARRL doing?

[Tommy]

I have just read an email response from the Great Lakes Division Director,
but no input from the SE Director, stating that the ARRL had made a mistake
in their submission to the FCC, specifically by leaving the term '3kc' in
their submission, pertaining to RTTY. Evidentially the ARRL has already sent
a modification to the FCC, clarifying many of the issues.

Supposedly very soon, the ARRL will have complete information available
about RM-11306 on their web site, including a discussion memo on this issue
by K1ZZ.

At the present time, all of the legal talk about the 'problem' and how the
ARRL proposes to correct it, is significantly beyond my comprehension!

As a rather long-time Life Member of the ARRL, I normally try not get
publically involved in 'rumors' of what the ARRL is doing or trying to do.
But if this pdf publication by the FCC is correct, and I have to assume it
is factual, the ARRL has privately asked the FCC to widen the RTTY bandwidth
to 3kc, allow RTTY to operate anywhere in the ham bands, including WARC
bands, and  allow automated email bots (read 'Winlink') to operate ANYWHERE
they wish in the ham bands, any time they wish.

If you are at all interested in this, YOUR hobby, it would be informative
for you to read this document published by the FCC and draw your own
conclusions.

There may be some explanation for this of which I'm unaware. Perhaps the SE
Director or the SE Vice Director would care to comment on this to help us
all understand what the ARRL is really trying to accomplish? However I doubt
they will since their history shows extremely little communication about
what the ARRL is trying to do, with the folks who voted them into office.
