Some of the points to my petition:
1. This petition is neither for nor against K1MAN renewal, instead it is being sent to the commission for the purpose of the FCC to answer a few questions. These question mostly circle around the recent NAL given to K1MAN. 2. INTERFERENCE: The question of why the FCC seems to be going only after K1MAN when W1AW has also been reported to have cause interference. It seems funny that since 1987 the FCC has repeatedly sent warning letters and NAL's to K1MAN and not W1AW, who has been reported to begin transmitting over ongoing communications. It is also rather funny that amateur's, even the ones that W1AW has transmitted over, seem to target only K1MAN. 3. PECUNIARY INTEREST: Amateur radio is a non-commercial service and according to the rules and regulations amateur radio stations cannot have pecuniary interest either direct or indirect. The first of the questions is why does the FCC have a double standard or definition to the term non-commercial? Non-commercial under the general rule is a station that can't make a profit; instead a station can make money, to sustain the station. Non-commercial FM and AM radio station due it through viewer support and non-commercial point to point services do it through state and federal funds ALL other service are able to get funds to run their stations either commercial and non-commercial. The second is direct or indirect rule. K1MAN on his Information bulletin advertised his website which had commercial goods on it (DIRECT) while when some one listens to W1AW, like a short-wave listener, or a future ham operator they would get on the Internet and do a search for W1AW, which in term would lead them to the ARRL site, site, which also has goods for sale (INDIRECT). So the question is why is the FCC going after the ARRL for their indirect sale of goods? It seems that the FCC has a double standard when it comes to who can bend the rules and who can't. Which leads to the finally question, Does announcing your website on the radio (even if it to some guys your talking too) and it has commercial advertisement on it really constitute pecuniary interest? And again if so then why is the ARRL allowed to sale products on their website. 4. Broadcasting: Under the FCC rules governing amateur radio, ham operators are not allowed to broadcast, however under 97.3(a)(25) and 97.111(b)(6) amateur can run Information bulletins. The questions are where does the line between Information bulletin end and broadcasting begin? Many amateurs believe that an Information bulletin is to be a newscast and is not allowed to opinionated. Which raises the second and third question, where in the amateur rules does it state an information bulletin cannot be opinionated? Third does these "non-opinionated rules" allowed under the "non-content based rules" (the Courts has ruled repeatedly that the FCC rules must be content-neutral) or Under Section 326 of the Communication Act of 1934 as amended, (prohibits the FCC from control the content of station except for obscene and indecent material) or the First Amendment |

If you got a problem with W1AW, send in a complaint. If you got the gonads that is. 3.

BWAHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA....you seriously expect the FCC to answer a question from
YOU? Well you dumb redneck, either they will or the court of appeals will tell too. FCC responds to complaints. The issue is K1MAN, not W1AW. If you got a problem with W1AW, send in a complaint. If you got the gonads that is. Moron, W1AW does the same thing, it is funny that ALL THE MORONS in amateur radio complain about K1MAN, and not W1AW. SNIP What a blowhard you are Toad. Ham radio is NOT COMMERCIAL. Broadcast radio is. Need I continue, really? You are not actually that ignorant are you? And what dumbass you are, Amateur radio is NON-COMMERCIAL, but NON-COMMERCIAL IN ALL THE OTHER SERVICE CAN MAKE MONEY, BUT ONLY ENOUGH TO SUBSTAIN THE STATION. Commercial radio can make a profit, read the rules you freaking moron. The FCC has answered that question. It is UP TO THE CONTROL OPERATOR. yeah but the NAL seems to me is an attempt by the FCC to control the content. Simply because the definitions of an information bulletin and broadcasting is very vague. Todd N9OGL |

Trying to reason with Toad is like talking to a rock.

Perhaps because the ARRL/W1AW actually provide a usable service to Amateur Radio...Not to mention that at least W1AW keeps it's operations close to the band edges where few folks venture...K1MAN plops down in the middle of the band and other operations be danged.

Doesn't matter, Interference, is interference. it doesn't matter if they are providing a service or not. Read the rules yourself...And try to not drool on them as you do. I have read the rules and there is a double standard on the definition of what non-commercial is It's not vague to anyone except for those Junior D-J types, such as yourself, as to what they are. No, the one's don't understand are those who try to put more into the rules then what is here. For example the idea that information bulletins can be opinionated, yet there is no rule that states that, nor is there any order from the FCC that states that. Todd N9OGL |

Doesn't matter, Interference, is interference. it doesn't matter if they are providing a service or not. It's the receiving station's inerpretation of what "interference" is. Obviously a significantly higher number of people consider K1MAN to be "interference" than they do W1AW. And for good reason. Read the rules yourself...And try to not drool on them as you do. I have read the rules and there is a double standard on the definition of what non-commercial is Nope. The ARRL does not refer listeners to it's website for it's paid services. K1MAN does. It really is THAT simple. It's not vague to anyone except for those Junior D-J types, such as yourself, as to what they are.

Nope.
The ARRL does not refer listeners to it's website for it's paid services. K1MAN does. It really is THAT simple. The rules state and an amateur station cannot make money direct or indirect. when a shortwave listener hears W1AW their going to go to the internet and go to yahoo or google and look it up which leads them directly to the ARRL site. that's called INDIRECT as to K1MAN's DIRECT. You're the one trying to "...put more into the rules then (sic) what is here." no I'm not, I have been stating there is no rule and regulation nor final order from the FCC that states an Information bulletin can not be opinionated. If the FCC didn't want Information bulletins to opinionated then they would of stated in the rules, they have that power. Todd N9OGL |
