Thanks Pete, I also can answer Yes and Yes. Plus I suspect that the digital modes would end up in the CW sub band if such an animal continues to exist. That would be OK as long as it is for the most part shared as on 20 meters. As CW winds down the needed protected spectrum will be less and less of course. As the new modes continue to come and improve there will obviously be more demand on spectrum for them as you suggest 5 or 10 years on. I have known for years that CW was gone as a license requirement but for those who do not use CW to make decisions for us who do is a bit much. AM is a tough choice to make in this same environment. We are going to get bashed with the intent of some to get rid of it totally. What a shame that we have to stop something so someone else can do something else. And next week their ham ticket may be gathering dust while they take up knitting or whatever. I just don't understand why it cannot be understood that a transition over time to manage the spectrum in a logical fashion to accommodate all interests (modes) is the right thing to do. Why does it have to be all or nothing right this minute? Does anyone have an answer to that?

Where should I (we) transmit digital voice or digital multimedia when it becomes more of a part of the amateur radio's arsenal of modes to use. I'm not talking about today or tomorrow but 5 to 10 years down the road which is what the ARRL proposal is targeting. Of course with the CTT proposal, it's "jungle law", any mode any where, subject only to your class of license.
