Since I've been FAR from satisfied with the answers we're getting
regarding
the new Region 2 bandplan, I sent another message to ARRL and IARU Region
2
officials today, repeating my concerns about the new bandplan ...
I am against such bandwidth and mode controls - tight regulation and
restrictions like these goes completely against the experimental and
innovative nature of ham radio. The new Region 2 plan does not match
common practice on the bands and would likely be ignored by thousands
of operators. What about AM operation? How is bandwidth defined and
measured?
... And without the details of how bandwidth is to be
defined and measured, the figures in the bandplan are meaningless -
except to cause fights among hams as they argue about them!
The existing IARU Region 2 bandplan is excellent - why the need for
change to bandwidth specifications?

Your information is not correct. The IARU Region 2 band plan will not
restrict AM operators in any way and you will notice no change whatsoever
to
your operating preference as a result of it.
ARRL has no regulatory petition pending, proposed or planned that would
limit or restrict AM phone operation in any way.

He dodged the issues you brought up altogether and failed to answer any of
your questions.
Reminds me of the the way the FCC dodged the issues and failed to address
objections that were brought up during the AM power proceeding.
