No your comparison is not valid. In the case of W1AW & K1MAN, the point is
that one adheres to the rules as they exist at this time and the other does
not. If you study the "history" of amateur radio, those rules were crafted
to allow W1AW to do exactly what it was doing at the time and they adhere to
those same requirements today. If K1MAN adhered to those rules, it would
not be possible to stop him. But he chose not too. If you think W1AW ought
to go too, then work to change the rules.


The problem is the rules are very vague. There is a thin line between
broadcasting and information bulletins but here is a list of things
K1MAN SHOULD of done.

1. Make sure the frequency wasn't in uses. If the frequency was in use
then he should of moved to a different fequency.
2. Stay at the control point while the transmission was going on
3. Don't avertise or talk about his website.

If he would of done this he would not be in the trouble he's in now.


Todd, Why aren't you broadcasting your bulletins?
