Rules that need to be changed

§97.113 Prohibited transmissions.
(a) No amateur station shall transmit:
(5) Communications, on a regular basis, which could reasonably be
furnished alternatively through other radio services.


That needs to remain in place, Todd. It was put in force to prevent
amateurs from utilizing the ham bands for commercial purposes, and
to prevent the amateur service from unfairly competing with commercial
services. Without that rule, those providing such services would
have every right to file grievances with the FCC.

Also, without that rule, there would be more congestion on the ham
bands.
