[Elecraft] RM-11708 proposal to FCC threatens CW and digital modes

2014-06-23 Thread jsdroyster
Perhaps others like me are unaware of this proposed FCC rule that would allow 
digital communication modes 2.8 kHz in width to be used robotically in the CW 
and data 
sub-bands without regard to interference.  ARRL supports this and evidently 
initiated it. 
 
http://www.arrl.org/files/media/News/RM-11708%20Briefing%20Memo.pdf 
 
However, information on websites savecw.com and saveRTTY.com indicates 
it would cause grave interference with CW and narrow digital modes. 
 
There is evidently a short window of opportunity to submit comments to the FCC 
about this, and there are instructions on the noted websites for how to do this 
online within just a few minutes. 

If you google for RM-11708 you can read some well-reasoned comments submitted 
by other hams to the FCC electronic docket.
 
I can't evaluate the claims being made about ARRL's motivation  but it seems 
important not to allow such bad interference, so I submitted a comment.

Re: [Elecraft] RM-11708 proposal to FCC threatens CW and digital modes

2014-06-23 Thread Jerome Sodus
Hello,

I bought a KX3 to induce me to learn the code and operate portable.

Randal Evans, who is not a ham, wants RM-11708 approved, so he can use the
ham-bands to download movies.
Imagine that happening where I want to operate CW and PSK31.

Here is Evans' message to the FCC sent in last week:
7521315143.txt
To: FCC - RM-11708
The sailing forms are all engouraging us to file comments in support of
RM-11708.
This is my first filing and if I mess this up, please see SailNet Forum at:
http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/111746-us-c
itizensurged-support-fcc-rm-11708-a.html
I have experienced very dependable service from the amateur radio Internet
Winlink
system. 
Its a great service because all of the other available Internet services
cost money. Even when I am topside crusing the system runs automatically
below deck
publishing my position reports and downloading my email. 
I use the system for sending position reports, ordering supplies, repairs,
chatting with friends and posting to facebook. 
My only complaint is that it needs to be much faster. 
I am not a amateur radio operator yet but a friend lets me use his call with
a SIDD on
the end. I hope to get my own ham call soon.
From what I read on the sailing forums, RM-11708 will allow Winlink eMail to
run
twice as fast. 
That is great and I am for that. 
Some of the technical folks are saying that if RM-11708 is published with no
bandwidth we can get even faster Internet and might be able to stream movies
on the Winlink Internet. 
I'm for passing RM-11708 into law with no bandwdith limits.

I sent to the FCC my notice that I don't want RM-11708.
I don't want the ham-bands used for email and movies when commercial
services can do that.

Re: [Elecraft] RM-11708 proposal to FCC threatens CW and digital modes

2014-06-23 Thread Sandy Blaize

 think my comments on RM-11708 went thru.

This is very serious to ANYONE who wants to retain narrow band digital 
communications like JT9 and PSK31 and RTTY!!  Also to CW Dxers and 
contesters!  If this passes, it will change amateur radio as we have 
known it forever.  There will be no weak signal operation possible 
with the onset of digital noise in the analog receiver.


IF THIS IS REALLY A NECESSARY DIGITAL MODE, it belongs somewhere in a 
segment of the phone band sub-band and NOT THE narrow band digital and 
CW band.


I think this is REALLY a back door attempt to silence Continuous 
wave telegraphy..really!


I hope the old timers and the newbies who are still hanging on to CW 
will write comments against this sneaky move ARRL is backing to 
satisfy mostly the Yacht crowd who want to access the internet via HF 
radio!  It will violate the 300 baud or less rule of keeping wideband 
digital OUT of the narrow band digital space!


Don't rely on the FCC to nix this RM as there isn't any real 
engineers at the FCC anymore, just lawyers, bean counters and 
political hacks
running things there now.  Proof of this is higher authorities bypassing 
FCC and making rules that stand now in the new 60 meter band.


Please add your voices to the protest against RM-11708!

Re: [Elecraft] RM-11708 proposal to FCC threatens CW and digital modes

2014-06-23 Thread KQ8M
The worst part of the quote from the yachtsman that really ticks me off is 
where he says:  Its a great service because all of the
other available Internet services cost money. Really? We end up with this QRM 
so boaters don't have to pay for internet services?
In my comments to the FCC I stated that if there is an emergency and the faster 
communications is needed then the FCC has the
ability to declare an emergency and allow otherwise unauthorized modes. Just 
like they do when they set aside a certain frequency.
This is not an emergency nor is the guy checking his email a reason to change 
rules to suite them!

The proponents say this will not cause problems. What I see is the interference 
this will cause to these stations amongst themselves
in there narrow bandspace, they will then start moving out from each other 
taking up more and more bandspace! Moving other modes out
as they do so. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

BTW, this affects ALL amateurs so this crosses in to the on topic line.  If 
this comes to fruition there will be a mass exodus of
regular hams and this will affect not only Elecraft but all ham radio 
manufacturers!

More to the point, if we don't keep the list clean, I'm sure it could be 
a true moderated list with the flip of a switch.


If that happened, a moderator would have to approve all posts before 
they go out to the list -- and that slows the tempo way down.

Your argument is basically free speech vs. the wishes of the forum owner.

The list owner has observed that any post on amateur radio politics is 
going to generate a lot of traffic and is inevitably controversial.


Since the purpose of the list is to discuss Elecraft products, and not 
amateur radio in general, the list owner has basically said not here.


Personally, I'm okay with this topic, but I don't own the list, and it's 
outside the list charter.


Meaning those of us who want to keep up on rule changes need to get that 
news in other ways.

promise I won't comment again on this OT Topic Topic.


If the future of CW for us new hams with the KX3 is not ON Topic WHAT 
is on Topic. Respectively I'm asking how would I learn about this 
problem with our bandwidth being threatened if I did not get it here. 
This is the only list I subscribe to. I agree with all the posters 
above me this is critical to the future of CW and Especially the 
future of CW in relation to the KX3
Thank you to all above me who passed on this information so I can 
contact the FCC and submit a comment.

Respectfully,
Joseph Robertson

The First Amendment stops the government (in the US) from interfering with free 
expression.

This list is not owned by the government; the amendment doesn't apply.

Let's move on please.

Re: [Elecraft] RM-11708 proposal to FCC threatens CW and digital modes

2014-06-23 Thread mcduffie

 If this comes to fruition there will be a mass exodus of
 regular hams and this will affect not only Elecraft but all ham radio 
 manufacturers

Which means it is off topic for this ELECRAFT related forum.  Take it to some
wider forum and have at it.
