[ARC5] First Post and Questions

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Ken, Bob,

Bob got the channelized part right for sure. Some other, non technical, 
people are the primary users of the band. So the rules are set up to fit 
their use.

All the hype on TV and other advertising media has ruinated "accurate" 
and "precision". Those come in degrees and involve "tolerance" anther 
ruinated word. The ruinators didn't give us replacement words so I 
continue to use them. The thing is - there are no "absolutes" (ruination 
again) - not even at NIST. There is "state of the art" and that affects 
tolerances and ultimately "precision" and "accuracy". I'm sure NIST has 
some very nice art and tolerances can be mich tighter there. Most of 
live in the wilderness.

In other words - do the best you can.

73,

Bill  KU8H
