[Donald Chester]

Minute 64 adopted at the most recent
ARRL Board of Directors meeting on July 19-20, 2002:

64. On motion of Mr. Frenaye, seconded by Mr. Stinson, it was VOTED that at 
the next practical opportunity the ARRL shall petition the FCC to revise 
Part 97 to regulate subbands by signal bandwidth instead of by mode.

The last time that was tried, back in the 70's, the proposed bandwidths were 
350 Hz and 3.5 kHz.  That was Docket 20777, the infamous FCC proposal that 
would have killed AM on the HF bands.  It was only through the strong 
response of the AM community that the measure was rejected. We need to get 
busy on this one!
