Hi all: I’m on the road to DC as well as some others on the legislative advocacy committee for meetings tomorrow. Just a quick note that David Siddall was working on a summary of these events regarding 11831 last night. It should be finished today and I’ll pass it along to ODV as soon as I can. 73 Rick - K5UR Sent from my iPhone

This was a topic of discussion at our ARRL Forum at SEA-PAC last weekend. This is a very important topic in this Division, as Oregon is an "all in" state with Winlink for ARES use. (The state ponied up $500K to equip all county EOCs with Winlink/PACTOR capable HF stations several years ago.) The best thing I've found to do is give members both sides of the issues on these RMs, then basically let them decide which side they're on. In the forum I touched on RM-11708 and RM-11831, and told members that the ARRL is working with both sides for a resolution, along with the FCC. That approach seems to have stemmed the complaints.

Hello ALL -
Several of my fellow Central Division members have noted the lack of an ARRL comment on RM-11831 and the similar resounding silence about the Symbol Rate proceedings. I was under the impression that a white paper describing the League position would be completed at the beginning of this month, in time for a meeting that appears will never happen.
In all of my time on the Board I have never seen such a complete lack of response to important issues on the FCC Docket which is at the focus of the ARRL membership's attention.
For the purpose of discussion I have attached a comment in PDF below my signature line from a local ARRL member that I obtained from the FCC Comments link; https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/1042806152070/Comments%20on%20RM-11831.pdf
