[Fists] ARRL Study Stinks!

[Jeff Davis]

I'm assuming by now most of you have seen this ARRL bulletin:

SB QST ARL ARLB055
ARLB055 ARRL Study Panel Recommends Eliminating Novice Bands

The ARRL Novice Spectrum Study Committee has recommended that the
ARRL petition the FCC to eliminate the CW novice subbands and allow
Novice and Technician with element 1 credit licensees to operate CW
on the general 80, 40, 15 and 10 meter cw allocations at up to 200 W
output. The panel suggested recognizing portions of those bands for
''slow CW operation'' to aid new CW operators in enhancing their
skills. The committee recommended refarming the current Novice/Tech
Plus subbands in part to allow expansion of the phone allocations on
80, 40 and 15 meters.
