Marty,
Yes. I spoke with one of my NTS friends last night and he is all for the proposal.
Perhaps the way to do it is to originate radiograms to all the state (section) net managers. With that method, liaisons would be informed, and on voice nets, the entire net would hear the traffic. The only concern is sending the link to the FCC website via radiogram-but we could use the RM number or refer to our website. East coast could send to West coast and vica versa for the most hands the traffic would fall into. It would remain mostly within NTS whose members should be supportive. Those that participate in nets tend not to be the 75 M ragchewers that are on every night on the same frequency. i.e. 3600-3650 KHz.
It would certainly be a break from all the congratulations and license renewal traffic on the nets. It should be a boost for NTS morale as well.
It could even get us our first BPL (Brass Pounders League, not the other stuff) award too. Win-Win!

Did anybody think to use NTS (whose members would benefit from the return of some elbow room on 80m) as a vehicle to solicit supporting letters?

Looking at reply comments, it appears most of the recent filings are against our proposal: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/proceeding/view?name=RM-11759
If we could only mobilize those that were against our symbol rate proposal to send in favorable comments for this one. From those comments, the digital ops had some incredible vehicle of communication to pass the word along.
