The best thing for us is to get rid of ALL the nitpicking subband restrictions. If there is more room for phone modes (including AM), there should be fewer problems on our bands. Overcrowding is one thing that turns 75 meters into a zoo. A high priority is filing opposition to the ARRL petition, RM-11306, as this poses a grave threat to AM operation below 29 MHz and the digital Winlink robots will create problems across all of our bands. To visualize the interference potential, think of Winlink as a digital version of K1MAN. 73, Phil Galasso K2PG
