[KCDXC] Posting comments on RM-11708 --> be sure to specify the right

[Jeff Blaine]

Dear KC DX Club members,

Bad news!!!   The instructions I provided on making your comments on the RM-11708 proposal were incorrect.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The correct instructions are:


1.      Go to:     fcc.gov/ecfs/filings


2.      THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART:  In the proceedings section type:                  16-239


3.      There will be a list that comes up as you type.  And you will finally see "16-239 | Amatuer Baud Rate".  Click on that line.


4.      There should be a YELLOW BOX now with "16-239" inside it.  Meaning you now have the right reference.  Good job!


5.      State your position.  Etc....


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The FCC has issued their Notice of Proposed Rule Making (WT Docket 16-239).  But what has been happening is that most of the hams have been providing comments citing the old ARRL petition reference (RM-11708).   So when the FCC queries their magical database they won't see any of the recent posts - unless they have the "WTB 16-239" proceeding listed.
