Thanks Bruce. Yea, I know some have really played up what they called a "secret meeting" to which I keep responding "How is a PUBLIC ex-parte meeting secret?" I'm yet to receive a response. 73 Joel W5ZN -----Original Message----- From: bounce-120532-3438@reflector.arrl.org [mailto:bounce-120532-3438@reflector.arrl.org] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 4:48 PM Subject: Joel, no in-person events here. The email has died down. At least three were more upset about the "secret Ex Parte" meeting than the actual issues. I'm in an extended thread with one high-profile member who isn't very familiar with the digital modes and wonders why fully automatic op. and encrypted messages are deemed a good thing. While tutoring him has helped me clarify some points to myself and solidify my feelings, I'm not sure if I'll get him persuaded to be a proponent of Winlink/OFDM or fully automatic freq. windows. 73 Bruce K0BJ ----- Original Message ----- From: Joel Harrison To: arrl-odv Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2007 2:04 PM Subject: What are you hearing I'm curious what you are hearing now about our bandwidth subset proposal to the FCC at in-person events.
