1. The folks at Booth, Freret, Imlay & Tepper are unpaid volunteers?
2. One way to avoid such errors is to openly seeking broad review
beforehand; defects are less expensive (time, $) to correct sooner
than later.
The ARRL does a lot of things well, and deserve the appropriate
accolades. However, their effort to modify frequency allocations has
been a study in serial incompetence. They are proposing to allow
unattended stations without busy frequency detectors to operate more
broadly, they initiated an action that jammed CW and Data into the
bottom 100 KHz of 80m, and who knows what we'll get from this latest
round of semantic follies.
The ARRL represents the US Amateur Radio Community to the FCC. We
should be setting high expectations and holding them accountable when
they fall short, not lowering the bar and making excuses.
If there's a faint glow of hope in that material, it Dave K1ZZ's
acknowledgement of broad opposition by the amateur radio community to
the ARRL' RM-11306 proposal.
