You can blame me for not preventing his boss in DC from hiring him in the first place. But it's all ancient history.

Mr. Courson is pro AM...very pro AM, and was a thorn in President Haynie's side for six years. Actually, I believe if I make a formal commitment to operate AM in exchange for monetary contributions or donations I would be violating Part 97....it is still the AMATEUR radio service!

Greetings. After extensive review by the Executive Committee members and some good edits from the entire EC and especially from Messr's Sumner and Rinaldo, we filed last evening the attached reply comments in response to those 900 plus comments on our Bandwidth petition. Most of the comments filed were negative with respect to the ARRL Petition, but they were polarized in one direction or another (i.e. "make no change in regulation by emission mode" versus "don't have any subband regulation"), putting our petition in the "reasonable middle ground" category. Here they are. Incidentally, the voluminous comments filed in response to the "Communications Think Tank" petition, RM-11305 were even more negative than those filed in response to ours.... See for yourself at the ECFS search page on the FCC web site. 73, Chris W3KD
