FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

WASHINGTON DC 20554

Dear Ms. Salas,

In the matter of 1998 biennial Regulatory Review-Amendment of
Part 97 of the commissions amateur Service Rules, FCC WT Docket
98-143.
For your information, many of the suggested changes are good. 
One special exception that I prefer is: No change in the code(CW)
requirements.  Or, perhaps a special code(CW) endorsement.  With
the lower segment of each amateur band(the lower 25kc/mc)
reserved for colde/cw operations only.  By lowering the
standards, not to include the colde requirements, opens the
amateur bands like the present Citizen Bands and it will be full
of meaningless chatter, and the scientific advancement, the
emergency networks, the public service world wilde given by
amateurs will lost.


Sincerely yours,

jack A. Jones, SMSGT,USAF Ret
