Some say:
According to authoritative legal sources, ALL of MAN's
activities are quite legal.
Broadcasting isn't legal here either.
It is. See your exceptions list below, and the extra special
exception called "W1AW.".

The exceptions are beacons, code
practice and news bulletins of interest to amateurs only not general
interest news.
And Space Shuttle retransmissions.
ARRL meets the strictest interpretation of the FCC rules.
I wonder who wrote that rule?

I don't recall if it is in part 97 or an interpretation, but there is
official word from the FCC that transmissions *specifficaly aimed at
amateurs* is diffeernt from that aimed at *anyone* which *is* considered
broadcastaing. So if it is to anyone, it is broadcasting. If it is to an
individual or specific group of people, then it's not. I'm just explaining.
I wrestled with this as well and it is certainly arguable...as is anything
here... So, what about religious transmissions? If they hope to convert,
then it's broadcasting. If they are only targeting religious people, then
it's not, I guess. 73,
