Comment on Docket 16-239

 As an extra class Amateur radio operator living in a very remote region of Alaska, I would like
to give my support for Docket # 16-239. The need for removal of the 300 baud limit.

 I also would like to give my support for the Amateur Radio Safety Foundation, Inc (ARSFI) position
on 16-239. The need to remove the 300 baud limit for the future of digital communications in 
Amateur Radio is crucial.
  
 I have used the Winlink system for many years and at times it has been the only means of digital communications
 for passing traffic. The continuation of this system and the need for it to grow is necessary for remote 
 areas of Alaska that lack even the basics of emergency communications.

 Thank you,
