But, when I did a quick search on the FCC website, I found nothing of

it.

Of course not. They're not gonna advertise it because then everybody
would be saying it.


Geee..... didn't Carlin cover this??? (i.e. George Carlin?)


Anyone know of this...my thoughts are on what will happen in amateur

radio
now.


Nothing, I hope.

The broadcast arena has always been the barometer of what people are
allowed to say on the air, hasn't it?


Nope. FCC has completely different rules for different services. The
fact that somebody gets away with something in the broadcast services
doesn't mean it's OK in the ARS.


Generally the terminology states soemething to the effect of "good amateur
practice." My ONLY PROBLEM with that is WHO gets to decide what the
benchmark is for good amateur practice...... If the FCC, who issues our
licenses are not going to do it, then who?


As for specific words??? Dunno, is there a list?? Who makes the list
then? Are other things other than the known "7 dirty words" included? If
someone is of say, for instance a different faith than you, do you get to
determine anything they say religiously is offensive and should be banned
speech? I am sure there are other examples one could come up with......
