What great timing. The FCC just approved order 23-93 that removes the Baud Rate Limit on Amateur Radio (HAM). This is a very, very significant change from the prior restriction of 300 baud.
We will now be able to use the ever evolving technology of the wireless industry to enhance data communications on the long distance, HF Bands of Amateur Radio Communications.
I have a lot to research, read, interpret and discuss with my peers to fully understand this change however, in initial review, I cannot see anything but a positive future.

The order for your review is at:
The Commission adopts this R&O and FNPRM to eliminate the baud rate limitation and establish a bandwidth limitation in certain amateur bands. The item also proposes removal of the baud rate limitation in several additional bands.
