If all your friends jumped off the bridge, would you jump too? Dumb
argument. If you are going to argue in favor of something, argue on
its merits, not that "everyone else is doing it".
750k licensed hams in the US. What is Canada? 1/10 of that? Mexico
is probably, what? 1/100? So just because "they already do it"
doesn't mean much.
Now, that said, regulation by bandwidth makes much more sense.
Unfortunately, that will make the HF bands useless because of the
unattended automatic stations. Those are the real problem. Fix that,
first then do what you want.
I haven't read the latest version - is the ARRL still trying to
"harmonize" all of HF with the odd-ball 60-meter band? And where are
we in the FCC process anyway?
