Essentially, the VE team practice of using Farnsworth spacing,
however convenient for all involved, DID NOT HAVE A LEGAL
BASIS FOR THAT PRACTICE. It required a specific document
(separate from published regulations) from the FCC to permit its
use years after it was begun by Volunteer Examiners.
The argument raged in here due to the overtly sensitive psyches
of certain licensed amateurs who stated they were "right" because
they were licensed, tested, etc., etc., yet none of them were
involved in setting regulations for any radio service and certainly had
no power to enforce any beyond whining and crying in this
newsgrope. The only "regular" who had actual, legal experience in
communications law stayed away from the main argument.

Those VE's sure are a lawless bunch. And the rest of the PCTA are enablers.
Sure would be nice if Lennie or Brain could produce a specification
document from the FCC that delineates what the "spacing" should be.
I know it probably won't happen, but it sure will be fun watching the
excuses fly as they try to dodge THIS "demand".
