"Dee D. Flint" wrote in message y.com... "Carl R. Stevenson" wrote in message ... (But, as I and others have previously said, the decision should NOT be based on a popularity contest in the community of incumbents, but should, rather, be based on the sound judgement of the FCC as to what's regulatorily necessary and good for the future of ham radio.) The FCC is not all that qualified to judge what is good for the future of ham radio. Then who is? The reality, however, is that the FCC is the determining body. Many of the staff are not involved in ham radio. They are a government body whose purpose is to regulate the various radio services so that they can coexist. That's only part of their purpose. There purpose is not to maintain ham radio or decide what is good for it. I would argue that these are also part of FCC goals for ham radio or any other service. Again, bottom line...FCC does the deciding. Cheers, Bill K2UNK Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
