I don't know why we don't get more spectrum anyway... look at the state of
shortware radio... the glory days are gone and what is left isn't much
worth bothering with... Most countries use web casting to pump their
propaganda... I don't see any real rush to shortwave from commercial
interests... no reason to... why dump money into a service that hardly has
any listeners?
We need to push for more spectrum...
Just my opinion...

What the heck is going on with our neighbours south of the 49th
Parallel...?!
You've seemingly got a licensing body populated by little-more than
did-interested, beaurocratic, career-oriented mandarins, headed-up by
politically correct toadies of big money & big
bu$ine$$...your largest lobby
group seems to be grossly ineffective of late in its ability
to grab the ear
of the FCC to make it listen, because it's apparently too
distracted by its
own agenda & internal empire building...
I am NOT attempting to condemn you good folks, or put you
down, or set up
our system here in Canada by comparison as some sort of a
",,,beacon of
enlightenment" --- nothing like that at all! But man-o-man, I
do feel for
you guys.
It's like you're all alone in a cruel world that simply
continues to change
for the worst. Obviously politics & Ham radio do NOT mix...on
ANY level. I
only hope things might change for you guys soon, because you
certainly do
deserve better than what you've been getting for the past
several years,
IMHO...

Subject: [AMRadio] ARRL changes: League dumps threat to AM
Thanks, Paul - excellent commentary from WA3VJB...
The threat to operators of old tube AM and CW rigs is
somewhat diminished.
To expand and explain slightly - the part they DO want to keep...
They now propose to destroy only ten meters, perhaps figuring
that since there has been a long sunspot minimum, no one
will be paying attention...

The ARRL, a small, non-profit publishing company in
Newington Connecticut, has abandoned a threat to
impose a system of bandwidth segregation on the
various modes and activities on HF below 10 meters.
In an email to the club's volunteer administrators,
Dave Sumner, the company's highest-paid, unelected
staffer, seems to have acknowledged the overwhelming
opposition arrayed against his group's plan the past
several years.
The threat to AM was specific and unquestionable -- it
would have imposed the first-ever, numerical
constraints on bandwidth without providing a means for
licensees to ensure compliance and ward off
unwarranted complaints from those who do not
participate in this mode and activity.
The scheme would also have characterized AM as a
"footnote" that otherwise would not be in compliance
with their misguided system of bandwidth segregation.
Sumner wrote, in part,
Quote
Regulation by bandwidth rather than by mode of
emission remains controversial below 28 MHz because of
perceived potential impact on established operating
patterns, so these proposals were removed from the
list with one narrow exception.
Those who subscribe to the ARRL can pursue the full
text, which contains several insults and additional
patronizing language to those of us who dared to
question the scheme their group tried to slip through.
Keywords:
--And for the truly paranoid
--don't know all the facts
--making their complaints and threats
--have other motives
It is important to note that the club continues to try
to sneak through the small, remaining portion of their
scheme that opponents had not, until now, chosen to
challenge.
Fresh opposition remarks about the fraction the League
continues to push are now being filed and accepted on
the FCC's Electronic Comment Filing System.
The latest challenges join the carefully considered,
well-reasoned arguments that gave the ARRL a severe
spanking and refuted that group's earlier threat to AM
that they now have abandoned.
This appears to be the system of feedback the group in
Newington prefers.
Paul/VJB
