post.

         Several suggested I summarize how to do this:

1.  Go to http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi
2.  Enter only 03-104 in Box 1 (Proceeding).
3.  Complete all required boxes (2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 12)
4.  Attach your file in .doc, .pdf, .xls, etc in the first large box and
click "Sent Attached File to FCC".

OR...and much easier for shorter comments,

5.  Type your comments directly into the bottom large box, keeping <70
characters per line, and click "Send Brief Comments to FCC".

After 4. or 5., another screen should appear where you need to click =
"Finish
Transaction and Receive Confirmation".  If you did everything correctly, =
you
should then receive a confirmation number on the next screen.  If you =
don't
see the confirmation number, your comments were not submitted correctly.

         Your comments will likely not appear until the next business =
day
since it takes them awhile to process everything. Please DO comment =
before
the August 20 window closes!  This could be the most important thing you
will ever do to insure we do not allow the FCC fill our bands with
interference.  Let's prevent another Pandora's Box like the FCC gave us =
with
Citizens Band!

P.S.  Much more info is available at ARRL's webpage:
