So. They *are* prohibited from operating in the amateur bands. That is
significantly different than "not being prohibited from doing anything"

Of course it is. However, commercial band users MAY operate
in ham bands which are not allocated exclusively for amateurs. :-)

For that matter, the federal government seldom requires "licensing"
of radio operators, civilian or military, whether in or outside of
amateur bands.

ALL of Title 47 C.F.R. applies to ALL USA citizens. Yes, that
includes amateur radio licensees. :-) In that you will find that, if
there is a REAL emergency situation, there is NO prohibition
against anyone using any frequency, any mode for help. True.
Ain't gonna be no Raddio Polizei saying "papers please" while
wearting leather topcoats and armbands in a REAL emergency.

Emergency comms is in another ongoing thread. Do you believe that we are
trying to argue that expired licensees can't use any frequencies during
an emergency? I don't recall anyone saying that.

So, have the court clerk read back the court transcript. :-)

Don't get your legal briefs in a twist.

Some argumentative amateur word-twister is going to pop in and
shout/holler "this is an amateur radio newsgroup!" Well, if so, why
is all the Chat Room nonsense going on between "regulars" in here
which is NOT about amateur radio? :-)

Hehe, Word twisting? Commercial licenses and Emergency operations
dictated by an expired license?

So, in here, what is different with everyone else? Lots of gabble about
politics, economics, business activities none of the gabblers have been
in, the divinity of morsemanship ability above all other amateur skills.


In that you are incorrect. I don't mind having a good discussion, and
even enjoy a good argument. But I do expect a good argument with proper
give and take.

Not much in public evidence to support your claims. :-)

PCTAs demand capitulation to them by all NCTA. That's been implied
for as long as the League has been around. :-)

Some times I am wrong, and some times right. But your
case would be better served if you were to simply admit your mistakes
and move on to good debate.

When I see "good debate" in here, I'll flag you down, run it up the pole,
prolly take out a billboard.

See...you are falling into the gruff "just capitulate to us PCTA" and
be nice attitude. :-)


Let's do good discussions with proper give and take. Anything else
risks irrelevancy.

Hey...you no like my NCTA tone, have me locked out of the newsgroup.

Don't worry, several others will call me names, usually names in
languages they don't know well. :-)

You ARE moderator, aren't you? Didn't Paul Schleck vacate the job
and make you Chief of Attitude Protocol? :-)
