Dave,

I hope you are right. But it seems to me that the case (auto vs. remote control stations are two different beasts) is contingent on either the FCC having explicitly defined these two things in such a way that existing law already supports their difference.

Do we know if the FCC has a definition on the two?

Automatically controlled stations are not remotely-controlled stations, and vice versa; thus section IV would not enable the use of
2800 hertz for automatically controlled stations.

My understanding is that WinLink servers are automatically controlled stations. If my interpretation is correct, these would remain
limited in bandwidth to 500 hertz.

If WinLink or any other network of automatically controlled stations are advertising the availability of HF servers whose bandwidth
is greater than 500 hertz, I'd appreciate a URL.

Dave that looks like more lawyer type weasel words. It says it does not
change the status of AUTOMATICALLY controlled stations. Look at Sec. IV where
the remotely controlled stations are permitted 2.8khz bw. I don't know how
many fully automatic stations are left on the air except for a few packet
operations, just another slightly misleading part of this monstrosity.

Section II.8 of

<http://www.arrl.org/files/media/News/Petition%20for%20Rule%20Making%20AS-FILED%2011%2015%202013.pdf>

restates the 500 hertz bandwidth limit on automatically controlled stations
operating in the HF subbands specified by 97.221.
Footnote 11 says "there is no proposal herein to change the nominal bandwidth
limitation for automatically controlled stations
transmitting data emissions".

Thus the ARRL's proposal would if adopted not result in any expansion in either the
bandwidth or HF spectrum available to
automatically controlled stations.

Has anyone reached a different conclusion?

      73,
