[SEDXC] The IARU has approved a new band plan based on signal bandwidth.

[Dave - KB4ET]

The IARU has approved a new band plan based on signal bandwidth.  It becomes
effective January 1, 2008.

This is similar but worse in several ways than the plan advocated by the
ARRL that was soundly rejected by ARRL members and hams in general.  Dave
Sumner, K1ZZ, the ARRL CEO is also an officer with the IARU.  The ARRL said
it would revisit the failed approach - I guess this is their revisit.

While IARU designations are "voluntary" they are traditionally what has
become the official designation.

Or Google "IARU Region 2" and look at the Sept 2007 headline.
