The following information appeared on the AM Window Bulletin Board. Tnx
Phil, K2PG.
The FCC has assigned an RM number, RM-10740, to the petition that seeks to
ban high-fidelity SSB, and
to cripple AM below 28 MHz with a 5.6 kHz bandwidth limit. Comments may be
filed through the ECFS page on the FCC Web site.
Here is the URL to the FCC ECFS search page:
http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/comsrch_v2.cgi
To view the bandwidth petition, type RM-10740 in the PROCEEDING window. Then
go to the DOCUMENT TYPE window, scroll through the pull-down menu, and
select PU, for Petition for rUlemaking. Click on the RETRIEVE DOCUMENT LIST
button. You should see some information on the petition, the two clowns who
filed it in May, and a link for viewing the document. When you click on the
link, you will see the petition as a .pdf file.
To view the comments that have been filed, type RM-10740 in the PROCEEDING
window, then select CO (for COmment) from the pull-down menu in the DOCUMENT
TYPE window. After clicking on the RETRIEVE DOCUMENT LIST button, you will
see a list of all comments filed to date. To view them, click on the link at

Here is the URL for electronically filing comments.
http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi
When you click the URL, you will be taken to a cover sheet. Enter RM-10740
in the PROCEEDING window, fill out the other blanks as directed, then type
your comments. As an alternative to typing your comments directly on this
page, you may write them as a Microsoft Word document, using the standard
formatting for legal documents, then you may upload your Word document.
Do not use macros in the Word document. Since macros are popular places for
planting viruses, the FCC software will automatically discard documents that
contain macros.
