All,

I'm sorry, but my Roanoke Division Director, Bodson, has informed me that he has no intentions of intervening in the matter of RM-11708, except to recommend or vote that it be supported by unanimous vote of the board, and any opposition to the matter appears to be from misinformation and misunderstanding of the issues and intent of the RM - as pointed out by the ARRL Reply on Comments.

IMHO - This position might be because he was the Second to the original motions of adoption of the Ad-Hoc Committee report, made by West Gulf Division Director Woolweaver at the July 2013 ARRL Board Meeting:

From the official minutes of the
25. On behalf of the Ad Hoc Symbol Rate Rule Modernization Committee, Dr. Woolweaver(1) moved, seconded by Mr. Bodson(2), that: WHEREAS the symbol rate restrictions presently in Section 97.307(f) of the FCC Rules no longer reflect the state of the art of digital telecommunications technology; and WHEREAS it is in the interests of all amateurs to encourage both flexibility and efficiency in the employment of digital emissions by amateur stations; IT IS RESOLVED, that the General Counsel is directed to prepare and file a Petition for Rulemaking seeking the modification of Section 97.307(f) to delete all references to symbol rate and to apply to all amateur data emissions below 29.7 MHz the existing bandwidth limit, per Section 97.303(h), of 2.8 kHz. Mr. Norton moved, seconded by Mr. Bodson, to delete all after "symbol rate" in the last paragraph. After discussion the amendment was DEFEATED. After further discussion, the motion as originally proposed was ADOPTED.

26. On motion of Dr. Woolweaver, seconded by Mr. Bodson, the following resolution was ADOPTED: Whereas, the Ad Hoc Symbol Rate Rule Modernization Committee has completed its mandate, Be it RESOLVED that the Ad Hoc Symbol Rate Rule Modernization Committee is dissolved, and its members are discharged with thanks.

 (1)David Woolweaver, K5RAV, West Gulf Division
(2) Dennis Bodson, W4PWF, Roanoke Division

73,
Ben - WB2RHM
