[Boatanchors] Fw: [NAQCC-News] NAQCC Opposes recent FCC filing

Easy to use FCC form to comment. Use it or lose it. It's up to us who use the CW sub-portions to protect them from encroachment. TNX 73 de n8aft

 Subject: [NAQCC-News] NAQCC Opposes recent FCC filing
   
A Missouri amateur radio operator has recently filed a petition with the FCC asking them to eliminate our HF CW sub-bands.  Specifically he says… “[The] petitioner proposes all privilege restrictions limiting any part of the amateur radio spectrum to the use of CW/Morse Code radiotelegraphy to the exclusion of other emission modes be eliminated entirely.”

The complete text of the petition (RM-11769) can be seen at http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment/view?id=60001692464 <http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment/view?id=60001692464>.  You can also read about it in an ARRL news item at http://www.arrl.org/news/missouri-radio-amateur-petitions-fcc-to-designate-symbol-communication-subbands <http://www.arrl.org/news/missouri-radio-amateur-petitions-fcc-to-designate-symbol-communication-subbands>.

We are completely opposed to this proposal and have already filed a comment with the FCC about it and we encourage you to do the same.  To file a simple comment go to http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/hotdocket/list <http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/hotdocket/list> and click on the RM-11769 link.  Then fill in the form with the requested information and your comments about this proposal.  Please do not delay since comments must be filed within 30 days of the original petition filing which was made on May 2nd.

Thanks and 73,
