Topband: Have you filed your comments to the FCC on the proposed changes to 1900-2000 yet?

The deadline is the 25th of this month. Just 17 more days left. Even if you have zero interest on what goes on above 1850 kHz, it is still crucial to get this passed. In the albeit unlikely but finite possibility that radiolocation beacons will ever return, it would impact all users of the band, with everyone trying to squeeze into the bottom 100 kHz. This may be our only window of opportunity to regain primary status across the entire band.

So far, the response from the amateur community has been disappointing. Nothing from ARRL yet, but I assume they will submit something.

Here's how to file:

Don't let's give the FCC the impression that few hams care about maintaining and preserving this band.
