WHAT RULE??


Who are you responding to, Toddie? Do you not know how to quote
text of those to whom you are responding?

What you don't understand is this, As long as the
information bulletin is directed to the amateur radio community
regardless if it's opinionated or news it legal.


A "bulletin" contains information that allows the operators of
other Amateur Radio stations to make informed choices. Those bulletins
are made up of information that is based on FACTS, not opinion.

As LONG as it is
DIRECTED TO THE AMATEUR RADIO COMMUNITY and deals with AMATEUR RADIO
ISSUES. Boradcasting is DIRECTED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. there's the
difference between broadcasting and information bulletins.


Keep telling yourself that over and over and over, Toddie.

Lame Vein Baxter in Maine has been telling himself the same thing
over and over, but he still has federal marshals knock on his door on
occasion. He's dodged the bullet so far, but he can't pass wind
without getting his name in the Federal Register for rules violations.

Get that education you were sparking about, big boy...And if you
ever need a clearance for a federal contract for work, good luck
getting it with a history of federal citations under your belt. Any
company you may work for in the future that requires clearances will
have to ID you to the feds ( as they will anyone connected with any
particular job ). How long do you think they will keep you around when
a multi-million contract hangs on having a non-acceptable person on the
payroll?

Is the "N9OGL Show" worth THAT...?!?!

The only
reason they can order a cease and desist order is if you violate the
law. The only CONTENT the FCC can control is Obscene and Indecent
material. The US Supreme Court in 1969 ruled that a person didn't

have
a First Amendment to uses a radio station without a license,

Upholding
the License system of the FCC. A person who has a license has a First
Amendment right to use a station, A right given to the licensing

holder
byn the federal governement.


The First Amendment of the Constitution is NOT the enabling
regulation for Amateur Radio, Toddie. The Communications Act of 1934
as ammended is.

You DO NOT have the "right" to arbitrarily broadcast and say it's
OK because it's "free speech". Not in a one-way transmission on any
allocation in the Amateur Service, you don't.

Section 326 of the communication act
forbids the FCC from content control except, for obscene and indecent
material. But back on the issue at hand, If the FCC wanted

Information
Bulletins to be only "news bulletins" the FCC could of narrowed the
rules down to state that, but they didn't because, it would of made

it
too narrow and may not hold up constitutional in the courts. As I've
stated may times before, information is 50% facts and 50% opinion and
in a FREE SOCIETY we need both.


Propagation data, operating times of DX station, LEGITIMATE Morse
Code practice or knowing if a "communications emergency" exists on any
given frequency or band has absolutely NOTHING to do with "opinion",
Toddie.

Todd N9OGL
FREE SPEECH AVOCATE


"Todd, N9OGL, Free Speech Abuser"

You're an idiot, Todd, but it's correctable. At least if you act
soon.
