Please note that this petition has not yet been made public, and it should not be shared outside this group.

There is obviously some history behind what is in the petition, and how it got to be the way it is. Because not everyone may be aware of this background, I thought it would be helpful to prepare a "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ) document providing some of this information. This might also become a good basis for communication to members. I've attached the FAQ as a Word document. I'm sure there will be suggestions for change, and I invite these, as they will help improve the document. 73, Greg, K0GW On Thu, Dec 13, 2018 at 10:56 AM Michel, Howard, WB2ITX (CEO) < wb2itx@arrl.org> wrote:
