At least the FCC did do something about club calls. They took 42
of them away from a JA few years back :-) But for some strange
reason, they let him keep his primary station license, a W9 extra
class U.S. call.

Maybe they should get calls like WJ#XXX, or KJ#XXX...
If the FCC decides that it's proper for foriegners to get American
ham licenses.....

Perhaps you'd consider a Constitutional Amendment that
restricts US rights
and privileges to US citizens or persons legally landed here.

The FCC has already decided that it's proper for foreign
nationals to have
US license if they complete the prerequisites for that license and
exercise it within the parameters of Part 97.
Citizenship is not one of them.

Specific callsigns would be discriminatory under present US
interpretations of the Constitution.

Inneresting. Steve has pushed Phil Kane aside as our resident
communications attorney.

"You miss the point, Steve. The purpose of r.r.a.p. is no longer
discussion of policy, or learning something, or study of
communications theory.

The purpose is to FIGHT and to denegrate the dignity of all who do
not agree with you! Any other post is off topic and is not welcome
here.

Get with the program. No one is "mistaken" or "partially correct" on
r.r.a.p. They either 100% totally agree with you, or they are "a
lying, scum sucking, bottom feeding no-code beeper." There is no in
between, and there must be at least one of each in every conversation
here. Anything which resembles a rational exchange of ideas and
useful information will either be ignored, or some enterprising
induhvidual will hijack the thread and turn it into an argument about
Morse. No other "Policy" conversation is allowed to survive
unmolested.

72, de Hans, K0HB"

Steve is right, though.

Thanks, Alun. Not a single word about the use of Morse Code in
any of the
original posts, yet PuppetBoy cites one of Hans' trolls responses
arguing about hijacking a thread about Morse Code use.

He wonders why I call him an idiot.

Discrimination against resident aliens has been prohibited since Yick
Wo v Hopkins, which relied on the equal protection clause of the 14th
amendment.

"Yick Wo"...?!?!

One of the Chinamen charged with running a wooden laundry in downtown SF.
His case was actually joined with someone else's. Can't remember the other
name, a Chinese one, obviously. Hopkins was probably the mayor, or someone
like that.

This is a little way off Phil Kane's speciality of communications law,
although no doubt the FCC can't discriminate against aliens. Maybe Phil
knows of some case law regarding aliens and the FCC?

I am not a lawyer, just an alien.

Alf would be proud! (J/K ! ! !)

Alf's "host" was a Ham, BTW!

I once saw a plaque with a picture of Alf and the caption "Never
underestimate the power of an alien". It was designed to go on a desk. I
always kicked myself for not buying it. I didn't know about the link
between Alf and ham radio. The show was on when I first moved to this
country.
