[AMRadio] Fw: Minute 64 adopted at the most recent ARRL Board of Directors meeting on ...

[K0PJG]

Hello Dale,

Will I am not one to shy away from standing up for AM, but read the response from our ARRL Pres. ;

Have they just not been specific enough on Minute 64 or is there something afoot Watson ?

  "The ARRL is petitioning the FCC to regulate subbands by bandwidth. 



1.  First off, we do not have a petition. 

2.  You can't work phone in the subbands now. 

3.  What we are interested in is two new modes of digital. Clover 2000 and Pactor 3. 

4.  Under the present rules, 300 baud RTTY is the signal width standard. Clover 2000 and Pactor 3 are a bit wider. It is felt that by being able to accommodate these two new technologies, amateur radio would be in compliance with its charge under part 97 to "promote and enhance the art...." 

5. Presently our technical team is looking at what frame work is needed to accomplish the new modes. 

I hope this helps and if you would pass it on so as to quell the fears of the AM'ers.
