We as hams were once givers and helpers, now as members of the ARRL we are hoarders of spectrum for frivilis activities as compared to what good could come out of the spectrum.  
---------------------------

Having this discussion on a list that caters primarily to intermittant narrow-band and weak signal aspects of the hobby is counterproductive.

I, for one, would like to learn more about 802.11b on Channel 1 as a Part 97 activity.

Don't give away my ability to experiment and advance the state of the art in communication.  That is a basic tennant of the Part 97 service.  For that, we need spectrum, and "thank you" to the ARRL for being a staunch advocate for keeping it.
