I hadn't thought of it that way....but I think there's hope...someone had posted 
that if we screwed up with ESSB, that the FCC and ARRL would step right in and 
fix it all.

I'm not sure is most frightening, having someone show up saying:

"I'm from the gubmint, and I'm here to help you."
or
"I'm from the ARRL and I'm here to help you."

I'm still trying to get in through my thick skull how we hams can push for a 
dimunation of efficiency that would not only reduce our channels, but cause
problems for hams in other countries where the telecommunications regulators 
have the sense to outlaw excessively wide emissions.

Now I'm begining to wonder if there will be a clamor for the K3 to offer 11 
meters and above....after all, the rights of the freebanders must be respected.

10-4 Good Buddy...I got the antler pointing yer way and gonna kick in the 
leanyer and the Enhanced Side Band.
