Are we the last generation of hams?

Putting my UK hat on, how would anything done by the FCC affect us over here, or anywhere else in the world for that matter..? It would have no regulatory effect at all outside the jurisdiction of the FCC, and your operations wouldn't be directly affected at all. However, presuming the idea gained traction, obviously the secondary effect would be that hams in other countries would want to also experiment with any new modes or techniques they heard on the air and would petition their regulators to allow it. I'm reminded of a "reverse" example of this which happened here in North America awhile back. For several years Canadian amateurs were allowed on-the-air development and use of AX-25 (packet radio) but FCC regulations prohibited W/K hams from participating. Eventually we were able to convince FCC to allow this mode. Thus in this example, the action of the Canadian regulators had an indirect secondary effect of eventually changing the mind of the FCC. 73, de Hans, K0HB |
