I endorse RM-11831. Open, decodable communication has been hallmark of the 
amateur radio service since its inception. It is essential that this 
transparency be maintained. Attempts to hijack the amateur bands to bypass 
commercial providers of identical technological solutions should be prevented. 
Additionally, permitting encrypted communications on the amateur bands opens 
the door to exploitation by hostile actors with the exception of remote login
to administer a system. Given the economic and national security implications, 
I support this filing.
