I certainly disagree, Jim. The analogy is ridiculous. Most of the problems arose because of misrepresentations made, either deliberately or otherwise, by Skip Teller and a couple of others. However, Skip now says he will support a bandwidth petition as long as the concerns about the proliferation of semi-automatic operation are addressed.

From a member:

The management of "Regulation by Bandwidth" was terrible in every respect. The ARRL blaming its failure on the community's "widespread misconceptions" is outrageous; I don't think anyone's sunk that low since Nixon resigned due to "lack of support in Congress". Does anyone disagree? Jim Weaver, K8JE, Director ARRL Great Lakes Division 5065 Bethany Rd. Mason, OH 45040 E-mail: k8je@arrl.org; Tel.: 513-459-0142 ARRL - The Reason Amateur Radio Is!
