A big problem I have with the request is the classification of pactor 3 as a "narrowband" data mode. I recently found some new documents that show the necessary bandwidth of this mode as 2K40J2D, i.e. 2.4 kHz. To me, this sounds more like a definition of wideband, especially considering what the FCC said in their latest R&O. I don't think it is appropriate to change the "standard" of what is wideband versus narrowband without a formal filing of a petition and some comment period.
Also, the ARRL had a chance to comment on this during the normal comment period and chose not to. They didn't even include it in their request for an erratum change for the J2D <500 Hz issue. To issue a stay at this late period ignores the process requirements of the FCC and also puts many hams at risk of violating regulations because of lack of notification of the stay. The ARRL should simply file another petition and let it go through the process the correct way.

I have to agree the 3600KHz upper end is a bit cramped. > Leigh/WA5ZNU > On Wed, 13 Dec 2006 7:38 pm, kd4e wrote: > > What is the best means by which we may quickly encourage > > the FCC to *NOT* "stay their rule"? > > > > Sure would hate for them to do so based on representations > > of a few that it would be OK with the majority. > > > > Is there a preferred E-mail address at the FCC for such > > matters? > > > >> By Friday, there will be no non 97.221(c)(1) and (2) stations (fully > >> automatic or wide band semi-automatic) that will be operating on 80 > >> meters in the U.S. since there will be no automatic subband available > >> ... unless the FCC stays their own new rule. > >> > >> 73, Rick, KV9U > > > > > > > > -- > > > > Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E > > ... in sunny & warm Florida :-) > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > Thank our brave soldiers this season: > > http://www.letssaythanks.com/Home1024.html > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > URL: bibleseven (dot) com > > > > > > Connect to telnet://cluster.dynalias.org a single node spotting/alert > > system dedicated to digital and CW QSOs. > > > > > > Yahoo!
