They do read all of the comments.


Highly unlikely particulary in cases like Anderson's nonsense *and*

Yer missing the point.

*Somebody* at FCC reads 'em. That's all.


Some of course but like I sed I'll believe it when I see it in many
cases.

My guess is that the FCC doesn't even start reading the comments until
after the comments close. Then they sort them by commenter, because
some folks send multiple copies and there's no point reading the same
thing more than once.

Then, I think, somebody goes through them weeding out the obvious
cranks and fakes, as well as the dupes. Also, they probably pile up the
simple "rubber stamp" ones ("I agree with ARRl/NCI/NCVEC").

What's left are the ones that need a bit of serious reading.


Seems probable.

Much
smaller pile. You think Len's stuff makes it to that pile?


Scan, identify commenter, flick his garbage on sight . .

Then he's even more off the wall than I've given him credit for.

Not my problem. Not yours, either.


That I agree with.


Ya broke da code.


You'd think he wouldn't bend over so far backward to make such an ass
of himself in public but nah . .

(e) They are ticked off at the 18 petitions, lack of consensus and
mountains of commentary.


I doubt that there's much (e) involved, they've been patrolling up and
down our back road in the RF wilderness for decades and they're quite
used to it. Used to us and our level of noisy BS.


Today's FCC isn't the FCC of 20-30-40 years ago.


Neither are we and neither is ham radio. But don't underestimate their
grasp on history and current realities and the relationships between
the two.

In any event thee and
me are bulletproof, we're 20WPM Extras so I could care less when they
bite the bullet and do whatever they're gonna do about the code test.


Code test is a completely different issue.


Not when it comes to the likelihood of ever having to take another code
test to upgrade in order to retain our operating privleges.

I used to think the code test thing was a slam dunk. Maybe it still is.
But the fact that FCC has taken so long so far makes me wonder. For all
we know, they could keep it just because. Or they could do what Canada
did. Or something else.


Or they could simply sit on it forever which would be the really easy
way out of that swamp.

'Course I thought I was bulletproof in 1967 too when I had a General .
. .


Heck I was just a Novice and I saw it coming. I wondered what all the
fuss was about. I still do.


I'd probably see Incentive Licensing the same way if I was a kid in
your shoes. However you came into ham radio when it was already old
news and were something like 14 years late to the Novice game I played
in in all it's nooks and crannies. You can read about it and talk about
early '50s ham radio it but since you didn't actually live it I
wouldn't expect you to fully appreciate what a huge deal Incentive
Licensing was to my Novice class. It was even more of a kick in the
butt for for the old-timers of those days.

Somebody wrote in a post in QRZ.com that they'd been in direct e-mail
contact with the FCC about the anomalies and confusion in the R&O and
the FCC agreed that the R&O needs more work before it goes to the
Register. That'll push implemetation of a cleaned-up version out until
God knows when. Reset: Game started over.


Roger that! The whole thing may have been a bit of a mind-game. ARRL
gripes, so they put out a messy R&O that makes ARRL look bad.


The FCC doesn't play silly games like that. If the guy in QRZ.com has
it right they screwed up a bit and need to tweak the R&O. No relections
on the ARRL one way or the other but the FCC will come out of it a bit
of egg on it's face.

I noticed in another of your posts that you didn't understand why the
80M CW band and 75M phone band are called what they are. Or something
akin to that.


I was asking why FCC treats them as two separate bands in Part 97,
that's all.


Because historically we've also been treating 80 & 75 as two separate
bands. Convenient ancient custom.

Time to bail away from the trashheads, I'm outta here and back to the
paint, varnish and antenna work.

poof:gone

We can all toss comments at all NPRMs, that's not the point. The topic

stakes go Anderson himself made it transparently clear years ago that
he has no stake whatsoever in the regulation of the amateur radio
service when he stated that he is not a ham and does not have any
intention of becoming a ham in the future.

and what abuse?


Flooding the FCC with 200 comments on one ham radio NPRM is juvenile
and abusive behavior every way you look at it. And it's not in the
direction of supporting the cause of you NCTAs.

did you read a different constituions than I


Again that's not the point, the point is how his submissions are
regarded and dealt with after the FCC has processed them in accordance
with all the laws under which they operate. You gotta be as naive as a

Anderson's nonsense as they do, for instance, to the inputs submitted
by the ARRL.

nope they know full well they wait long and someone will mount a legal
chalenge to code testing and that will be that


Could be but until somebody actually lays down the cash it takes to

No, I'm still not up and running. I'm very close to having half-wave
verticals for 20 & 15 strung up but this place has turned out to be a
whole lot more work than I bargained for when I moved in. For now radio
is and has been taking a back seat to buckets of paint and varnish and
beyond but there's no way I won't be on the air within the month. Even
if it's only on 20 & 15 with the 847, P/S the mic and the paddles. Next
up will be 2M via a quickie whip. Getting on 40 & 30 is a possibility
but that'll be a race against the WX and I doubt that I'll beat Mother
Nature so I'm not banking on it. "Wait'll next year!" grumble

More likely he's just delaying or defeating the changes he says he

btw, didn't FCC issue a ruling of some sort about how many proposals a
person or group could submit per year?

I know that there are vanity rules changes in the R&O intended to
eliminate multiple applications for vanity calls by the same person, to
avoid gaming the odds....

I'd say not much, gets back to the crux of my contention, they won't
let him clog the process.

If they did it went over my head. Either way they probably have
something like that in place which they keep to themselves.

Anderson pays for a dinner with Britney in a private room at the
Dilworthtown Inn.

Speaking of Britney . . there's some scuttlebutt going around to the
effect that the FCC is working on a compromise deal on the code test.
No Code Techs upgrading to get HF privs will have a choice. Pass the
13wpm code test or take a written on the material in this website.
Passing grade = 75 min.

Flooding the FCC with 200 comments on one ham radio NPRM is juvenile
and abusive behavior every way you look at it. And it's not in the
direction of supporting the cause of you NCTAs.

sas I understand he filed one coment during the main period and a
bunch (i'll accept your count till len says different) of reply coment
in the period set aside for that

that is on paper at aleast how the system is suposed to work

doing things the right way is abusive in your mind?

did you read a different constituions than I


Again that's not the point, the point is how his submissions are

it is precisely the point

You gotta be as naive as a

Usta be's, shoulda done's and could've beens are a dime a dozen, you

your point? that one should waste money forcing the FCC to act in
