Dick, I have had two chats with Art Bell, both pleasant but not necessarily mind-changing. I think he acknowledges the need for bandwidth regulation of digital modes. I think we're going to have to take a closer look at what the -26 dB points of typical SSB emissions really are.

How times change, exactly the reason our proposal needs to be taken seriously. I believe as Joel and others have mentioned, that you can find a way to make 3 Khz. work. The 6 Khz. Request would be contributing to a waste of valuable spectrum, a valuable commodity to us all. Let them use VHF/UHF for those needs. It is indeed difficult to please everyone. Dave, I wonder if you had your chat with Art Bell last week? Any chance you got him to understand? 73, Dick Dick Mondro, W8FQT <mailto:w8fqt@arrl.org> w8fqt@arrl.org Vice Director, ARRL Great Lakes Division <http://greatlakes.arrl.org> http://greatlakes.arrl.org _____ From: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ [mailto:dsumner@arrl.org] Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 8:21 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:12306] Re: odv:12281] 3KHz Wide Digital A couple of years ago at Dayton, John, K8OCL made a pitch to Paul Rinaldo and me for 200 kHz(!) digital bandwidth.

My digital experts (K8OCL, et al) also told me 3 kHz would provide no meaningful benefit. Jim W. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
