Their minds are already made up. The communications industry has obviously paid the right people the right amount of bribe money.

I don't understand how they can let this go through. If it's going to interfere with ham frequencies, it's going to interfere with all HF frequencies, is it not? (I just got my license a money ago, so I haven't been paying too much attention to this issue yet.)

congrats on getting the license. What a great hobby. I have not been at all that long - over two years. What a blast.

I need to go back and look to be sure but it seems like 30 - 80 MHz is where the most interference will happen. Yes, it won't be just our radio freq's that are interfered with.>p? You can go to the FCC web site, bit of a pain to navigate, I think. I would suggest the ARRL web site (www.arrl.org) to get up to speed. You don't need to be a member, although I am, to get to this material.

I believe the FCC comment period closed last month. It sure looks like it's coming. What a load of crap. I'm not licensed yet for HF - have every intention of doing so, just playing the balancing act between family - work - free time. I do want to get the code before they drop the requirement.
