[email protected], [email protected] Subject: This is it -- the chance for
our beloved hobby! Dear Ham Radio Colleagues: You have steadfastly learned the
facts and responded with factual, clear reason on the flawed RM-11708/NPRM
16-239, and on the aggressive digital takeover of RM-11828, and RM-11759. The
FCC and ARRL has heard us!!!! This is truly amazing, and a chance for our
hobby to get back to harmony and growth with the public being able to listen,
participate, and hear all conversations! Spread the word, as this is finally
our chance to PRVENT ham radio from becoming a private email service! First,
last week, the new ARRL board, with its new ARRL attorney, for the first time
in 20 years, has acknowledged that our voice is legitimate, and has heard the
concerns of the digital bandwidth aggression and lack of open, interceptable
data on
HF!See:https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/1032717663093/ARRL%20Ltr%202%20FCC%2016-239%2003_27_2019.pdf
Then, the FCC just published RM-11831! THIS IS OUR CHANCE! WOW! FINALLY – the
first public recognition by the FCC of the major problem in HF ham radio! This
is your chance to save our hobby and spur on its growth for its intended
purpose!
https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/filings?proceedings_name=RM-11831&sort=date_disseminated,DESC
Please – this is SO VITAL that you respond to the FCC ECFS and also to your
ARRL board members and elected officials! Here is just one example of a
response, please please get the word out to other hams, and write to FCC and
ARRL leaders, and congress, as they all need to hear from you, too, that your
support immediate passage of RM-11831! Example comment at FCC for
RM-11831:https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/1033179521395 The FCC has heard us,
and realizes for the first time that there is a REAL problem with
pseudo-encrypted data on the ham bands, and has woken up to the digital
bandwidth aggression! For the first time in 20 years, the FCC has now asked
for comments on the Winlink/ARSFI playbook that uses data that is extremely
difficult/if not impossible/for hams to intercept and their continual quest for
more HF bandwidth!. Here is our hobby’s chance to put the genie back in the
bottle, to contain the wideband aggression of pseudo-encrypted email stations,
and to keep the ham bands open to the public for future growth and
participation by the public in eavesdropping all of the traffic! Comments are
urgently needed, and your support of RM-11831, and rejection of RM-11708, WT
16-239, RM-11828, and RM-11759 are urgently needed! Please, get the word out to
keep ham radio open to interception over the air, and to contain the
automatically controlled, unattended data stations to within their existing
allocation (without expanding to all frequencies!). The boaters and winlink’ers
are flooding the ballot box now to stop it, you must spread the word and let
FCC know we want all data to be open to intercept and the bandwidth for
improper point-to-point email must be contained. This RM-11831 solves all the
problems we have been concerned about, so now more than ever, we have a chance
to finally urge that something be ACCEPTED and passed by FCC, instead of having
to fight against the continual aggression that the old ARRL board filed (eg.
The ARRL Ad Hoc HF digital committee, RM-11306, RM-11708, etc.). Please, now
more than ever, it is critical that you write into the FCC ECFS (See “Wireless
girl” for how to file in all dockets), your ARRL director, and elected federal
officials to ADOPT RM-11831 asap….. please file your comments to protect the
commons of ham radio, to protect the future of our hobby, and to finally bring
realization that all ham radio traffic should be decoded by others. Write in
for your strong support of RM-11831 and file simultaneously against RM-11708,
16-239, RM-11828, and RM-11759 that sought to expand the digital takeover
without addressing the obscured messaging problem. Let your congress leaders
and ARRL members know, as well. I am taking a lot of bullets for the hobby, we
need to make sure our efforts are not in vain. This is for the heart and soul
and future of ham radio and our nation’s security and the reservoir of
technical efforts for our next
generation.https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/104012122120334/30March19FCCLetter.pdf
