this legislation in order that we can find out what's in it."/

I was looking back in the September 2004 QST and found an interesting
tid-bit.
In the 'It Seems to Us' column, K1ZZ talked about bandwidth. Among other
stuff, he said "Despite these difficulties, and with the admonitation 'if it
isn't broke, don't fix it', firmly in mind, in July of 2002 the ARRL Board
concluded that the time had come to regulate amateur subbands by bandwidth,
rather than mode"
But, what I though was really interesting, he went on to say, "The Board
reviewed a draft petition for rule making at its January 2004 meeting and
asked the Executive Committee to contiue polishing the draft. The Executive
Commitee reviewed a revised draft at its March meeting and found that a few
corrections still needed to be made, but took the important step of deciding
that a synopsis and explanation of the petition should be made available to
ARRL members before (in italics) it is filed with the FCC."
Kinda wonder what happened to this proposal back in '04 and why we didn't
get a 'synopsis and explanation before the petition was filed' brought to
the members this time.
If you get a chance to read the whole thing, it is pretty interesting. 73
