The fcc has an avenue where ideas for change, restructuring and progress
can be introduced.

Er, John, the FCC is the ONLY avenue to travel.

Poor Lennie.

I'm not "poor," little Stebie, rather reasonably well-off,
NO liens at all, wife and I just bought a new car, we both
have income other than Social Security. We own two houses,
one in Los Angeles, the other in Kitsap County, WA...no
mortgages on either.


Can't stand it that there ARE other avenues "where ideas for
change, restructuring and progress" may be "introduced".

Incorrect. There are MANY avenues for change, restructuring
and progress. For civilian radio there is ONLY ONE and that
ONE is the Federal Communications Commission for U.S.
citizens.

In recent amateur radio history, FCC 99-412 was the Report
and Order that ordered the latest "Restructuring" of U.S.
amateur radio regulations. That was commented on by over
2300 documents from citizens under WT Docket 98-143. More
recent were the EIGHTEEN Petitions for Rulemaking, some of
which were DENIED in FCC 05-143 and the International Morse
Code test element 1 elimination being THE singular topic of
WT Docket 05-235. As of midnight EDT 16 August 2005 there
were no less than 1646 documents filed in WT Docket 05-235.

Amateur radio regulations were NOT a topic of discussions
at a neighborhood meeting of our City Councilwoman two
weeks ago at the All-Saints Church parish hall. They
won't be at Congressman Brad Sherman's Town Meeting next
week in Northridge, CA. Do you think amateur radio regs
SHOULD be discussed there? If so, state WHY.

Means he can't remind us of how impotent he is.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to worry, LITTLE Stebie, in a real discussion of real
issues affecting the community, I can "get it up" (so to
speak) on DISCUSSIONS with relevant facts and figures to
support my views. I'm used to it, can do it effectively.

One thing I do NOT do is - like your sexual innuendo
misdirection - try to divert the discussion into some
mean-spirited self-frustrated ATTACK on other personalities.
While that serves to temporarily HIDE YOU on your lack of
facts and logic on the SUBJECT under discussion, it is by
no means any sort of positive attribute for yourself. It is
rather a negative attribute that shows how shallow and
ignorant you are with all that emotional instability of
hatred manifesting itself at every opportunity.

Putz.

Giving it back to you in your own style - 4 Q :-)
