"Brian" wrote in message om... (N2EY) wrote in message ... The point is that the mere fact that FCC enacts a rule does not mean it's a good idea, or in the best interest of amateur radio. All it means is that FCC enacted the rule. Was the 55 mph national speed limit a good idea, in the best interests of the motoring public? The "expert agency" recommended that rule, and it stayed on the books for decades. Beats going to war for oil every 10 years or so. It was a dumb rule. Between raising the speed limit and dropping the EPA fleet mileage requirements, I'd say we worked ourselved into a corner. My Chevy silverado get the same gas mileage today as my 64 Chevy convertible did...about 17mpg. My truck probably weighs 150% of what the 64 chevy did. Frankly, "I can't drive 55." Hey, that'd be a great song title :-) Cheers, Bill K2UNK "Would you like to biggie size that?" |
