Now THIS is an ARRL representative that I can support... no BS or beating
around the bush about where he stands.
When are the REST of the ARRL Division Directors gonna grow a pair?

In the ARRL Great Lakes Division newsletter from Director Jim
Weaver, K8JE, there was the following interesting item: an
announcement of a new petition to the FCC for
regulation-by-bandwidth. I'm not familiar with it - bears further
investigation.
+++++++++ Regulation by Bandwidth +++++++++
By now you've probably heard there is a petition before the FCC that I
understand would bring a form of Regulation by Bandwidth to the US.
Before anyone jumps to the wrong conclusion, this petition was neither
developed nor is it supported by ARRL.
How can I be sure of this? I would have had to vote on a motion to
develop or to support the proposal. This had not happened and is not
scheduled to happen at our Board meeting next week.
So far as Regulation by Bandwidth is concerned, I've made the following
statement in a number of ways, but I will make it as a straight forward
promise to you. I will not vote in favor of a motion to support
Regulation by Bandwidth until the time comes that its provisions are
thoroughly understood by you and you support the idea.
Regardless, of my personal conclusion, I do not believe regulating by
bandwidth offers sufficient benefit at this time to warrant supporting
it.
One additional item is that I continue and will continue to support the
availability of all now-legal modes of amateur operation. If the mode
is legal today, I will continue to support its availability for amateur
use. Jim Weaver, K8JE
