Well, while the previous bits per symbol issue seems to be stalled
within the FCC since 2013 (I think that's right), maybe we can take a
different approach to see if we can get this (and other) ridiculous US
restrictions changed. I believe if we cite what other countries let
their licensed amateur radio operators do, maybe that will help our cause:

http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2017/db0901/DA-17-8…
I feel that any US amateur that feels some of these restrictions should
change (I do), PLEASE file a comment directly. Don't assume someone
else will do it for you and I also think the more comments they receive
here, the more it will speak to the burden it's creating for all of us.
Btw, don't hope the ARRL will do this our behalf either.

Problem solved. Isn't government wonderful!
