I've been licensed continuously since 1954, I may have missed this so-called ban, but I don't think so. No flame, The list was -- and is -- for real. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_20...7cfr97.111.htm FCC regulation 97.111(a)(1) which states in part: "(a) An amateur station may transmit the following types of two-way communications: (1) Transmissions necessary to exchange messages with other stations in the amateur service, except those in any country whose administration has given notice that it objects to such communications. The FCC will issue public notices of current arrangements for international communications;" So the banned list actually still exists, just that it's empty as no administration has currently notified the FCC that it objects to amateur communications with the USA. ISTR when I got my first license in 1973 there were three countries on the banned list. North Korea and China were two, I forget who the third was. In any case there were no ham stations in any of the listed countries so the FCC regulation really had no effect... -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com Ham stuff for sale: http://www.w9wi.com/articles/4sale.htm |

On a marginally related note, when I was employed at a defense contractor, some years ago, the countries of the Soviet Union, China, etc, were called "designated countries." We were supposed to report any contact with citizens of those countries to our Security office. I had a friend in the office and I asked him once whether I had to report every QSO I had with UA, etc. He said, no, only if you discuss where you work or what you do, with him. I said, fine, but what happens when I have just had a QSO with someone else, with whom such conversations are not banned and the UA was listening and breaks in. He grumbled and told me to go away. |

It was Viet Nam (or possibly North Viet Nam) where the US was involved
in another military fiasco.
