Today's Scorecard in the NCTA v. PCTA Amateur Championships!

As of the of the day in DC on 4 Aug 05, WT Docket 05-235
Comments a

Total 662
In-Between/Dupes 67*
Against Elimination 152
For Elimination 443

* In-betweeners are those "following" the ARRL plan to scrap code
testing for all but Extras, therefore with feetses in both camps.
In that group also are duplicate Comments and a few who wish a
higher morse rate for all below 30 MHz! Excluded are the "joke"
comments with names and given mailing addresses which are
obviously phony.

Note: The DATE RECEIVED block on the ECFS Search Listings is
running on Eastern time zone and the calendar date for all
Comments is set accordingly.

To date, the NCTA:PCTA ratio is 443:152 or 2.9:1 ratio. The
number of "in-betweener" Comments has increased markedly over
the second week of Comments.

Stay tuned. This NPRM has NOT YET appeared in the Federal Register
so the Comments seen so far may/may not be used by the FCC in
determining the final Report & Order. Thanks to Carl Stevenson for
pointing out the Federal Register non-appearance.
