Subject: [CTDXCC] Big ARRL board meeting next week

Dear Ham Colleagues:
There may be, for the first time ever, an honest discussion about effectively encrypted data in ham radio at the ARRL Board Meeting next week in Newington.
Please, Let all ARRL board members know your views on the need for ham radio to avoid all effectively encrypted data such as is used in Winlink (ARQ and proprietary compression) - urge the ARRL and FCC to insist that all data in ham radio be open for public monitoring over the air.
Let other forums know......If we don't rally and let the ARRL and FCC know our views this week, the ARRL Foundation and a majority of ARRL board members will likely attempt to continue to move our hobby to this result:

And

Please- spread the word-- this week, please let all current board members know your views about requiring complete data transparency, and to stop the use of ham bands for emailing the general public, and spam and business use of email that has been happening for years and will only get worse if we don't make things open now.


Let your views be know this week.  Please tell all ARRL Directors and the FCC (please file your thoughts in favor of rm- 11831 and against 16-239 and rm-11828), and speak with one voice that we need ALL data modes to be open for public intercept in ham radio, and Winlink ( am "open and transparent over-the-air Winlink)

and other wideband modes need their own separate subband, as requested in RM-11831.
