There is nothing they can point to to refute the argument that 2.8 KHz
strictly benefits PACTOR IV ... it is the *only* format that requires
such bandwidth currently used in amateur radio.

The appropriate *counter proposal* is that the FCC should:
1) *remove* the current prohibition on RTTY/DIGITAL in the current
"phone" bands - certain bands like 80 and 17 meters are already
overcrowded with current RTTY, PSK31, JT65 and JT9 activity.
2) apply the new "2.8 KHz" standard only at 3600-4000, 7125-7300,
14150-14350, 21200-21450, 28300-29700, 50100-5400 and 144100-148000
KHz. Limit bandwidth in all other frequencies below 148 MHz to
500 Hz.
3) Prohibit *all* automatic operation (including the so called "semi-
automatic" or "response only" operation) *other than* on those
frequencies where the authorized bandwidth is 2.8 KHz or greater.
4) require that *all* automatic operations include *functioning*
busy channel detection that prevents transmission if there is any
activity, in any mode, within +/- 1.5 KHz of the channel center.
5) require that a station using any digital mode with a bandwidth
greater than 500 Hz identify in PSK31 or SSB at least every
*five* minutes to permit identification of interfering sources.
6) require that any station operating in automatic mode provide a
*PUBLISHED TELEPHONE NUMBER* (e.g. in QRZ.com) at which the licensee
can be notified of interference and the licensee must terminate all
transmission within 30 minutes of time at which a phone call is
*initiated*.

Unless PIII unleashed all over the cw/digital band segments is your

I share your concern about turning all HF digital bands over to
SailMail, but we need to be ready with counter-arguments as well.
