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:

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.

. . . It probably doesn't matter anyway. With all of the other FCC restrictions preventing new data technology and service development, the ham bands are becoming more irrelevant for data every day. And the lack of FCC enforcement, the ham bands are more like CB every day. People trying to do meaningful things will get fed up and leave. Problem solved. Isn't government wonderful!
