Just wondering- with a couple years to comment to the
FCC -before- it was adopted, why all the discussion now. I guess
the boat was missed if there were any real concerns.
Technically the proposed rules were open for public comment for a
sixty day period back in 2004 which was followed by two weeks for
reply comments. After that, the public record was closed and for the
two years since the matter was in the hands of the FCC.
Look at how this proceeding transpired: The ARRL petition originally
asked for 25 kHz of phone band expansion on 75m in 2002. The FCC
proposed rules in 2004 that would have expanded the 75m phone band by
25 kHz. In 2006, the FCC finally decides to expand the 75m phone band
by 150 kHz.
It's difficult for most people to comment to the FCC on rule changes
the FCC didn't propose to make.
