Hello, John

You are correct - HF (and MF) amateur radio is not isolated. Signals cross
international boundaries. As to "sovereign nation, it sounds good and is,
except that what we are discussing crosses international boundaries. The
international agreements will have to happen - or would you prefer that
Radio Moscow rear it's head on a directional array running 5,000,000 watts
in the middle of our AM broadcast band?

VHF and above does not often stray far (although the stuff from 30 MHz to
perhaps a bit above 6 meters can and does at times, especially during the
peak of the sunspot cycle); therefore the FCC is very free to rearrange
things that don't affect satellite transmission/reception.

Heck, when you said "one world order", I thought you were going to mention

Yes, you touch on globalization and "one world order" and/or "new order"
(hey, wasn't that a phrase invented by Adolph Hitler's klick?)

Seems like a little more thought on "sovereign nation" and just exactly
what that is might be to our best interest.

Also, seems with each passing day "they" are anxious to give us reasons
why we should lose respect for gov't and authority and, the effects of
this are rather frightening--it even touches my neighborhood--a place
which was once safe and secure.

I can hardly see how this is not having an effect on this great
hobby--amateur radio is not an isolated island.
