Gerry,
I see that your comments are among those received by the ARRL HF Band
Planning Committee, so as an ARRL member you have not been
disenfranchised. As far as FCC comments are concerned, the comment
deadline was last December 23 and the deadline for reply comments was
15 days later. There has been no extension of either deadline.
Regarding the substance of your comments, correct me if I am wrong but
my impression is that the amateur regulations in the UK only specify
frequency bands and power levels, and do not limit either the
bandwidth or symbol rate of data emissions. The current symbol rate
limit in the FCC regulations is very unusual and indeed may be unique.
Other countries take a different approach. For example, in our
neighboring country of Canada there is a bandwidth limit of 6 kHz in
most of the MF/HF bands with no mode restrictions.
The ARRL petition simply seeks to replace the obsolete symbol rate
limit -- which because of advances in technology no longer has the
effect of limiting bandwidth -- with a bandwidth limit that includes
the data emissions that are already in common use. We believe it is
important to get such a limit into effect before the inevitable
development of broader data emissions using SDR technology.

Dave Sumner, K1ZZ

I suggest you and many others query Dave Sumner K1ZZ via k1zz@arrl.org
as he is deeply involved in the International Amateur Radio Union
(IARU) preparations for the next World Amateur Radio Conference
(WARC).
If Dave can't find a receptive ear with his contacts, I don't know who
can.

Hi,
I've been following progress on this from the UK. The implications
extend Worldwide.
I'm a member of ARRL and have submitted my opinion of the filing to
ARRL via the web.
I feel somewhat disenfranchised as I can find no-one to represent non
US members within the ARRL structure who I can approach to represent
my views.
I've tried filing comments with FCC via their website but cannot get
past the first page as it restricts submissions to US citizens by the
use of drop down menu for 'State' and needs a zip code.
Anyone any idea how I can proceed ?
Thanks
