My comments on the proposed changes to FCC Part 97.313

Since I already did my civic duty and submitted my comments on the NPRM for 97.113 and my all official-looking Word file was just sitting there, I went ahead and submitted my comments on the proposed amendments to the spread spectrum regulations which would limit the maximum power to 10 watts in exchange for elimination of the requirement for automatic power control. While I like the idea of eliminating the APC requirement I think the restriction to 10 watts is a bit overkill. I suggested that they increase the limit to 25 watts, as that would give amateurs a good amount of wattage to play with and still would still be 25% of what is currently allowed, mitigating interference concerns from Wireless ISPs.
