So can someone with no license at all. And as FCC will view the matter, the only difference is that a Tech is a licensed ham who is supposed to know better, and thus will have no excuse. Here in America the FCC has to issue a warning notice, then a violation notice and the person cited can then simply demand a hearing before a administrative law judge. The ALJ is a pretty informal process and you just need to cite the rules and they are not very strict when it comes to matters like these. Think so? Tell you what I think, I think you forgot to check your facts again before opening your mouth to change which foot was in there. The following is quoted from http://www.fcc.gov/oalj/ : "The Office of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ) of the Federal Communications Commission is responsible for conducting the hearings ordered by the Commission. The hearing function includes acting on interlocutory requests filed in the proceedings such as petitions to intervene, petitions to enlarge issues, and contested discovery requests. An Administrative Law Judge, appointed under the APA, presides at the hearing during which documents and sworn testimony are received in evidence, and witnesses are cross-examined. At the conclusion of the evidentiary phase of a proceeding, the Presiding Administrative Law Judge writes and issues an Initial Decision which may be appealed to the Commission." You call that an informal process? Be advised that there are people currently behind bars because they tangled with the FCC. The way you're going, you're going to be one of them before the code test goes away. I suggest that you either find out what you're talking about first, or stick to other newsgroups where the participants don't know any better. If you have a tech license and you operate outside your allowed bands like pop up in the twenty meter band and keep it up they might come after you. Make that "they will definitely come after you." But if you meet the international requirements and stay in the HF TECH bands it is not a violation of the rules As has been repeatedly pointed out to you, it *is* a violation of the rules, unless you have Element 1 credit. Have you ever bothered to read the rules? and no one can verify if you have passed a horse and buggy CW test any god damn way. As has been repeatedly pointed out to you, this assertion is also incorrect. Now go back to 11 meters where you belong, troll. DE John, KC2HMZ |
