Hello Mike I have to disagree, we need to have Mr. Siddall file what we agreed to at the Board meeting. The issue of an increaseto the 97.221(b) sub-bands is something we cannot simply arrive at overnight. This will take time and any proposalsfor changes should be allowed to be seen by the amateur community. The Bandplan Committee will need to take moretime than we have available to file these latest comments. The worst thing we could do is to make a unilateral recommendationthat has not been properly reviewed. Besides there are far more than just two items that need to be considered. With regards to band plan changes, it would make sense to make sense to communicate to the amateur communitythat a review of the HF band plans is underway. 73, Kermit W9XA On Tuesday, August 27, 2019, 10:33:41 AM CDT, Michael Ritz <w7vo@comcast.net wrote: I am going to recommend that we hold off on Counsel's FCC submission until the new bandplan committee puts in a recommendation on the new digital bandplan as part of the submission. The part of the current proposal related to to lumping all wide-band digital signals into with the ACDS segment has gotten a lot of backlash from up here in the NW Division, and not only from the ARES/Winlink folks. There are other wide-band groups out there upset as well. This is all due to Lor's comments sent out to all the Winlink users, but it has also stirred up a hornet's nest in the entire digital community. 73; Mike W7VO _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
