Charlie - While I agree with you that the proposal itself won't stop interference (deliberate or otherwise), ask yourself this: does the current band plan? Although it would seem to open up the door for even more complaints, the other side of the coin is that the FCC would have few types of complaints to focus its attention on, hopefully making it easier to locate the real idiots. IMHO, much of the interference we have now is created by trying to squeeze so many stations into a limited space. More limited than it would be with a more open band plan. I suspect that having additional space available would alleviate much of this. It won't do anything about the idiot factor, but neither does the current structure. I'm a big fan of fewer regulations and more personal accountability. Of course, there is no guarantee that the FCC will do more to hold people accountable, but we can hope. ~ Todd, KA1KAQ
