Hi all,

What are the group's thoughts on the proposal to allow 2.8kHz BW digi signals on the 630m and 2200m bands?  ARRL is supporting the removal of the restrictions.

Seems to be a bit of a conflict on 2200m considering the band is only 2.1 kHz wide. I realize the difficulties of building antennas and radiating any sort of power on the bands plus the low activity. However, any broadband signal on 2200m could potentially monopolize the entire  band.

630m has a little more wiggle room but not much.

Any thoughts?
