Again that's not the point, the point is how his submissions are
regarded and dealt with after the FCC has processed them in accordance

newborn if you think the FCC attaches as much value to any of
Anderson's nonsense as they do, for instance, to the inputs submitted
by the ARRL.

Len sometimes seems to think that he can woo the Commission with sheer
volume rather than substance.

A version of the 'say it enough times and some people will think it's
true" ploy. Except it doesn't work.

Heck, Len argues with and insults those who *agree* with him. I suppose
former FCC Chairman Michael Powell would have taken warmly to being
called "Mikey" by Len....

A child in a geezer's pants.

A *spoiled* child....

If he keeps playing that stupid game he's
liable to find out the hard way that the feds have some very unpleasant
ways of "calling games off".

More likely he's just delaying or defeating the changes he says he
wants.

btw, didn't FCC issue a ruling of some sort about how many proposals a
person or group could submit per year?

I know that there are vanity rules changes in the R&O intended to
eliminate multiple applications for vanity calls by the same person, to
avoid gaming the odds....

indeed the cash is problem I was well on the way leading to the NPRM
then the backer back out thinking the FCC is finaly goign to take care
it

Usta be's, shoulda done's and could've beens are a dime a dozen, you
either walk the walk or you don't.

Gee, Brian, maybe you and I need financial backers.

Yeah why didn't we think of that? 'Course the Colonel has all those
contacts in high places . .

Uh-huh....

the longer thay wait the more likely the challange become but they
(the ffc ) are on record as saying it will be out after the onibus and
before the end of the years

Don't let the suspense keep you awake at night.

Is the "end of the years" a sort of "end days" scenario?

Nah it's sorta like the last yawn of daylight.

The end of 2006 is only 72 days away, give or take. What's the
prize if FCC doesn't release the Morse Code R&O by then?

Chasin' the XF4?

No, I'm still not up and running. I'm very close to having half-wave
verticals for 20 & 15 strung up but this place has turned out to be a
whole lot more work than I bargained for when I moved in. For now radio
is and has been taking a back seat to buckets of paint and varnish and
beyond but there's no way I won't be on the air within the month. Even
if it's only on 20 & 15 with the 847, P/S the mic and the paddles. Next
up will be 2M via a quickie whip. Getting on 40 & 30 is a possibility
but that'll be a race against the WX and I doubt that I'll beat Mother
Nature so I'm not banking on it. "Wait'll next year!" grumble
