Peuce
I certainly appreciate and value your comment.
My concern was I had somehow offended Mr Simth, which was not the intent of these aspects of my research.
There has been much good information and debate on here of great value to a newbie as myself. But, it is difficult to seek information when one's hard questions do not get an answer.
This 5000' matter made me feel I had somehow missed or overlooked something. But I again read the JCB last night and I still only come up with Phase 1 = transponder equivalence and Phase 2 = radio equivalence, and the revised proposal is only Phase 1 because of objections needing to be further explored and consulted re Phase 2.
This process strikes me as admirable and your advice reassures me that I should continue to participate on the basis that 'no answer' is probebly an answer in itself
