Steve you are absolutely correct we need to be proactive here. This is a golden opportunity to modernize regulations.

We should submit comments that advocate for deletions only. I think this is doable, beneficial to our hobby, and it allows for saying at the end that we eliminate X number of burdensome regulations (this phrase is important) while adding none. I think some of the same "spectrum workforce" verbiage will work too.

Justin - Thanks for your thoughts. One of the most time-consuming tasks in my personal response to this is to link the Spectrum Workforce issues into this, because after all, this is ultimately about "America First" and we really need to RE develop US-based telecommunications development and manufacturing industry.

This is exactly the right approach. Frankly the changes we want match up very well with the administration's deregulation agenda.

Another thing I'm considering is renewing a request for an 8m band in the US. The federal government is the primary user there and it's not heavily used anymore. Could be pitched as reducing government waste and might offset some other likely band losses in the near future.
