Subject: [Elecraft] RM-11708 proposal to FCC threatens CW and digital modes

Perhaps others like me are unaware of this proposed FCC rule that would 
allow
digital communication modes 2.8 kHz in width to be used robotically in the 
CW and data
sub-bands without regard to interference.  ARRL supports this and evidently 
initiated it.

http://www.arrl.org/files/media/News/RM-11708%20Briefing%20Memo.pdf

However, information on websites savecw.com and saveRTTY.com indicates
it would cause grave interference with CW and narrow digital modes.

There is evidently a short window of opportunity to submit comments to the 
FCC
about this, and there are instructions on the noted websites for how to do 
this
online within just a few minutes.

If you google for RM-11708 you can read some well-reasoned comments 
submitted by other hams to the FCC electronic docket.

I can't evaluate the claims being made about ARRL's motivation  but it seems
important not to allow such bad interference, so I submitted a comment.
