[CW] USA News FCC Seeks Changes in MF Amateur Band (160m)

[Donald Chester]

Here's an example of the kind of opposition we may be up against, who 
may file comments in opposition to the NPRM, since Lindgren Pittman Inc. 
likely won't want to recall and re-program units they have already sold. 
This makes it all the more imperative that the amateur community come up 
with some good well thought out responses to the FCC. What I wonder is 
why they didn't program the units sold in the US to operate in 1705-1800 
in the first place, since that segment appears to be completely vacant, 
rather than risk being overpowered by hams who might not even hear them, 
in a shared band.

Another comment has come in supporting hams in the NPRM. Notice that 
this one is simple and to the point, no gobbledygook legalese. He should 
have included his name and address instead of just a call sign, though.
