Here is what I got from P15:
On March 13, 2006, The ARRL has proposed a change in regulating spread spectrum power output. This will dramatically affect users of 802.11b/g in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. Basically the proposal allows amateur radio operators to run powers of 100 watts without automatic power control. In the 2.4 GHz band it could obliterate Wi-Fi channels for miles having a significant interference impact on WISP operations. PART-15.ORG is not in favor of such a change for various and numerous reasons. I urge each of you to review the filings and submit comments in opposition to the requested changes. PART-15.ORG will be filing our Opposition in about 10 days. Each of you are welcome to use our filing in support of your own. I'll make a public announcement of our filing when it is ready. Until then, I'm going to open a discussion on both the PART-15.ORG email lists and the new Forum.
