Dave, It's been my experience that MOST officers of flag rank are pretty damned impressive! Hi! That is indeed good news about the Board's position. 73 ES TNX David A. Norris, K5UZ Vice Director, Delta Div. -----Original Message----- From: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ [mailto:dsumner@arrl.org] Sent: Monday, February 22, 2010 9:55 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:18572] RE: [arrl-odv:18562] Update on FCC Meetings, Friday, February 19, 2010 - Confidential, Privileged Communication To Chris's well-chosen words I would add that we did not just tell PSHSB to expect a lot of comments but that the comments would reflect a wide range of opinion, all the way from "no change" to a broader relaxation of the rules than we are advocating. Both Jamie Barnett and David Furth seemed to be appreciative of the fact that the ARRL position on 97.113 resulted from a representative process that included input from this entire range of opinion within the amateur community. By the way, I don't impress easily but I find Adm. Barnett to be quite impressive. Dave K1ZZ
