[AMRadio] IARU REGION 2 MF/HF BAND PLAN - Effective January 1st 2008

[SBJohnston at aol.com]

Good catch, Don.  You're right - this is probably the result of the 
parting-shot by the League officials that they would "revisit" their earlier failed 
bandwidth-control plan "at a later time".   

Not only are the restrictions on AM crazy, but what about holding the FM on 
the high end of 10m to only 6 kHz bandwidth? That was not previously the case, 
was it?

I am VERY much against such limits - tight regulation and restrictions like 
these goes completely against the experimental and innovative aspects of ham 
radio.  As a member of ARRL, which is the US member society of IARU, I am now 
going to instruct my representatives to stop this plan from going into effect.  

Think it will do any good?
