What's with the people (mostly in the Southeast US) on channel 6 with
huge
linears? How come the FCC hasn't thumped them? How do they
constantly
broadcast with obvious illegal power and not get caught?

**** dude that has been going on since the late 1960's. Nothing new at
all. Did you just find out about that??? FCC doesn't give a f*ck about
that. They got other things to be concerned about. Don't you???

No, I didn't just find out about it. I'm just a bit amazed that a
group of fox hunting hams hasn't tracked down and reported the
offenders. The FCC doesn't do much in the way of active enforcement,
but does answer complaints. The FCC should give a f*ck about it - it's
their frickin' JOB. What do you think we're paying them for? And, it
is a concern of mine if an agency tasked with law enforcement only
selectively enforces the laws it's supposed to enforce. What if they
only enforce gun laws against white males from 18-45? In the DC sniper
case, they all tried to say it was a disgruntled southern white guy
until they caught him - and surprise, surprise, it was a northwestern
black guy. The law should be truly blind.

The FCC is a rule making agency - The Federal marshal service enforces
for the FCC!

You can see the FCC's enforcement bureau at http://www.fcc.gov/eb/
They issue fines - that's enforcement!

All about the marshalls really do is track down and/or transport
fugitives and prisoners and protect federal judges. That's according to
their website: http://www.usmarshals.gov


The FCC is a REGULATORY AGENCY! Yes they can impose fines, etc. If you
don't pay the fines, then they take you to Federal Court & that is where
The Federal Marshals come into play,

A senior official at the F.C.C. said the commission was not unsympathetic to
the concerns of the law enforcement agencies. ''We're an economic regulatory
agency as well as a law enforcement agency and we have to look at the
interests of everyone,'' the official said.

The FCC is also a LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY!!!!!
