[arrl-odv:14898] Re: Resolution for Board Vote

All -- I've been on travel and read these emails pretty quickly -- and admittedly did not read the resolution since I'm using an email viewer while on travel that doesn't handle attachments --, so my apologies if I'm asking something that's already been explained. Though a majority has already been secured, I have a question...I'm still not all that clear as to why we don't ask FCC to reconsider placing the lower SSB edge back to our original 3725-kHz mark as originally proposed. There seems to be some concern from our members regarding the loss of CW and digital elbowroom due to FCC dropping the phone subband way the heck down to 3600. So, why then, are we asking them to bump it up only to 3635 rather than reverting back to 3725 based on the justification provided our original Omnibus proposal (and, subsequently, based on some of the feedback we asked our members to provide)? Might this cause our membership to question our ability of sticking to our guns? Or, might this signal to FCC that they can exceed/make errors with certain future proposals and ARRL will simply renogotiate rather than ask them to literally reconsider based on what was presented our original proposal? Again, I'm a bit handicapped since I didn't read the original resolution and any of its justifications, so forgive me if I'm off-base here. 73, Brian, N5ZGT
