ARRLWeb: ARRL Files Regulation-by-Bandwidth Petition with FCC

Bandwidth Petition with FCC
NEWINGTON, CT, Nov 15, 2005--

The ARRL has formally asked the FCC to adopt the League's plan to segment the Amateur Radio bands solely by emission bandwidth rather than by mode.

The Petition for Rule Making, filed November 14, recommends what the ARRL called 'a shift in regulatory philosophy' that would encourage and facilitate the development and refinement of digital techniques and advanced technologies. At the same time, the League said, accommodating new technologies would not come at the expense of current operating modes, including double-sideband AM phone. "

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
