28 APR, 2003 - 1640 CDT Hello Dave... Perhaps others are having the same problem as me. I received and opened the complete FCC NOI document you posted. But your attached file "qs0306" was evidently corrupted when it was stored in my in-box on my ISP's email server. I can download it but I cannot open it. 73 - Dick, W9GIG

It's been pointed out to me that the first file, FCC-03-100A1.doc, contains everything you need including the individual Commissioners' statements that are in the five other files. Sorry for the duplication. I don't normally distribute editorials in advance, but here's the draft editorial on this subject that I submitted this afternoon for June QST. Dave K1ZZ
