ARRL knows what is best for the US ARS.
Or was it K0HB that knows what is best for the US ARS?
Does the FCC "encourage such experimentation?" I don't think so.
I read Part 97 as giving radio amateurs the option of doing so. Can't
find any brochures or pamplets from the FCC ramping up the joys of
experimentation at all. Maybe that was "Electric Radio?"
It might be that the ARRL knows what is best for amateur radio.
There's a good chance that Hans knows what is best for amateur radio.
I don't know of a soul who believes that you know what is best for
amateur radio. You aren't involved in any capacity.
The FCC rules giving the option to modify equipment certainly lends
itself to the view that the Commission does not discourage such action.
Your interpretation may differ but it really doesn't matter.
Perhaps Len should just go work some out of band Frenchmen and be done with it!
Len isn't authorized any operation on any band under Part 97. Len has
no license. If he operates without one or if he (fat chance) lowers
himself to obtaining a license and operates on frequencies outside those
allocated to him, he can be dealt with by the FCC.
Then he would have a claim to validity (and greatness)!!!
He has numerous claims.
By the way, Dave, was that SSB or CW?
Ask complete questions and you'll likely receive complete answers.
