Even if it was enacted as law, that statement could still be true. We'd still be allowed to use AM, just not as we enjoy using it. Not unlike restricting CW speed to 5 WPM, but still allowing its use. 'You can still use CW, just not any faster than 5 WPM'.
That's what concerns me about trusting the ARRL's judgment. It would be a lot different if they had stood up and fought for AM over the years, merely through equal time and treatment given to other modes. Their assertions would have at least some credibility then. Their neglect and overt actions to the contrary are completely responsible for the current apprehension and distrust. ~ Todd, KA1KAQ On Nov 14, 2007 11:56 AM, JACK C.
