Dick de Jim VE1JF (member, RAC HF Band Planning Committee)--

We agree; note the second paragraph of our introduction to the plan:
http://www.rac.ca/service/RAC_Draft_HF_Band_PlanR1.pdf

Our RAC President and VP-International will shortly be attending a
Region 2 Band Planning meeting; they will be presenting and supporting
a strong position paper from us requesting that Region 2 reverse this
position, which compresses both CW and digital. We hope our position
will receive broad support from other Region 2 IARU members.

Please feel free to share this information with others who may be
interested. It appears from at least some of the comments we are
receiving that this item is being disseminated as originated by us;
the actual advocates of below-3600 voice are outside Canada.

Jim, VE1JF

Sirs;

Please reconsider your proposal for increasing the use of voice (SSB)
operations below 3.6 MHz in the 80 meter CW band.

We amateur operators in the U. S. use these frequencies for CW traffic
nets and general communications.

The added interference that would occur would be very difficult to
operate CW and pass traffic as well as for general CW communications.

Please reconsider.

Thank You,

Richard Singer/K6KSG
