Not everything should be taken in a 100% wooden, literal sense!

It is well known that I am a communications attorney whose practice
involves dealing with the FCC and other regulatory agencies on
compliance matters. One takes things in a 100% wooden sense or one
does not succeed in that business.

I could discuss this for a while here and there, but a cement truck driver
could talk on 2m while driving his truck BUT said driver could not use his
radio to talk to the dispatcher about where to deliver his load.

Like I said it's an analogy--an illustration.

I'm glad you're on our side, can you help with self-defense if I accidently
print and loose my other license here in TX?

And as I tell my clients - and a lot of them are hams - if you try to
get away with something and get caught, how will you explain it? The
:dude" defense - some other dude did it - doesn't go in regulatory
matters. I prefer to keep my clients from getting into trouble by
giving them the straight scoop, so to speak.

As far as railroading goes, it is well known that that's my avocation
and I know the operating rules almost as well as I know the FCC rules.
If you think that the FCC rules are complex, you ought to see the
Federal Railroad Administration rules!

CHL laws are complex as well!
