[Fists] RM-11305 comments

[Ernie Howard]

You may read the full text on the FCC web page:

Those who plan to make comments may want to focus in on the part about their 
'study' of the bands. They called it a "Analysis of Band Occupancy by Mode".

They limited the number of 'hits' in the CW band areas, eliminating counts 
for stations just calling CQ for a contest that was active at the time. They 
also only focused in on US stations. (See page 11). The study didn't include 
digital stations either.

Point out the problems with that defective 'study' when you comment to the FCC.
