Multiple responses based on facts and logic will be more effective than a
single response with multiple signatories, and more
effective than the same response submitted by multiple ops.
Based on your previous response, Chen, there are two fundamental problems with
the ARRL Symbol rate proposal:
1. it would open the bands to much wider signals, with no provision for dealing
with the resulting increase in interference
2. it would allow unattended digital stations without competent busy frequency
detectors access to a broader range of frequencies,
with no provision for dealing the resulting increase in interference.
A clear articulation of the facts and logic that is widely disseminated would
enable many ops to respond to the FCC accurately, in
their own words. You've made a good start.
My 2006 response to the ARRL's "Regulation by Bandwidth" proposal (RM-11306) is
available here:

By the way, let me float this to the RTTY community -- do you prefer that we
submit individual comments to the FCC, or do you prefer
that we together draft out something for interested parties to sign (and tout
their own credentials, if need be).
I know that there is already at least one effort to collect as much
documentation as possible to counter ARRL's lame idea. I have
been in the CC of emails of such activity, and have also participated in the
private discussions.
If a collective, well thought out comment is publish before any FCC deadline,
would you prefer to sign that instead of submitting
your own?
I have not floated this idea to anyone yet, I am interested in what the
community prefers, and we'll see if the folks who are
already drafting a comment (let's call them "the usual suspects" of RTTY HI HI)
would be willing to let others add their names.
BTW, the signatures do not have to be limited US licensed hams, since QRM can
travel far and wide and affect everybody, including
SWL.
