>From today's ARRL press release:

"Rather, we ask only that the Commission restore the privileges
unintentionally withdrawn from those who operate and who utilize
automatically controlled narrowband digital stations between 3620 and
3635 kHz," the League said. The ARRL pointed out that while the R&O
left unchanged rules permitting automatically controlled narrowband
digital in that segment, it eliminated RTTY and data as permitted
emissions above 3600 kHz.

This confirms the conclusion that the FCC's Omnibus Report and Order
in its present form would eliminate automatic and semi-automatic
operation on 80m.
It will be interesting to see how rapidly the FCC responds to the
ARRL's late-in-the-game petition.
