Recently an overzealous ham sending code practice 24/7
was the subject of an FCC enforcement action. Guy was
sending Bible verses (which isn't a rule violation) but
didn't answer FCC letters about his method of station
control (which is).

It -is- a rules violation if he is sending the bible verses to no one
in particular, thus the FCC letter.

=A797.113 Prohibited transmissions.

(b) An amateur station shall not engage in any form of broadcasting,
nor may an amateur station transmit one-way communications except as
specifically provided in these rules; nor shall an amateur station
engage in any activity related to program production or news gathering
for broadcasting purposes, except that communications directly related
to the immediate safety of human life or the protection of property may
be provided by amateur stations to broadcasters for dissemination to
the public where no other means of communication is reasonably
available before or at the time of the event.
