I can just see the posts on QRZ.com and other places regarding RM-11392: ----- "Dave Sumner, K1ZZ and his ARRL Board sycophants are at it again. They've gotten a former member to present this petition which would go a long way toward getting the FCC to adopt Regulation by Bandwidth in spite of the overwhelming mandate given by League members and other US amateurs to the ARRL's own plan. Did I say it was a former member who is pushing Regulation by Bandwidth? Read this as being a member who dropped her membership for the sole purpose of deluding hams into thinking she is no longer being manipulated by ARRL. I think you can figure out what really happened, though. "This is another shallow attempt at deceit by Sumner. First we have the petition to FCC and later we have the thinly veiled attempt to legitimize band planning through the new Region 2 band plan! "s/A disgruntled truly former member of ARRL who has seen the light." ------ To set the record straight, In no way I do not believe this is being done. Do I believe we just might see this tactic in the near future? Sure could. There are sick and treacherous people among the US population which is the same population from which the us ham population is drawn. Am I neurotic?

Anyone know what Bonnie is up to now and what her problems are with RM-11392?

Your message is the first I've heard of it, maybe it's something being discussed within the Exec Committee? I found nothing on our web site - the one where we wanted to be the best AR news source... why not? A quick google search turned up: http://www.southgatearc.org/news/december2007/bandwidth_band_plan.htm Is it something ARRL will be filing on? Looks like the deadline for filing is the Friday of our January meeting -- Tom ===== e-mail: k1ki@arrl.org ARRL New England Division Director http://www.arrl.org/ Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444
