TomF, ARRL's position is unchanged since the publication of this FAQ on point: http://www.arrl.org/rm-11708-faq If we wish to reply to N9NB's latest advocacy directly, we may agree with him that some limitation on wide bandwidth data emissions is necessary and appropriate. On the other hand, N9NB is proposing a regulation-by-bandwidth approach of the type that was resoundingly rejected last decade. We've taken a regulation-of-bandwidth approach for data emissions that actually provides narrow bandwidth emissions more relative protection than they receive now. That's the best I can do with family by Niagara Falls. 73 de Brennan N4QX/VE3 Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network.

Will we be posting a web story that helps to counter it? Or, is there a summary of points available I can use for responding to the people that have contacted me? I think I understand much of it but it's a complex topic and I want to be sure I get it right.
