Since the FCC is the governing authority, yes you can.


Actually, the fact that FCC says something is OK for broadcasting doesn't mean
they say it's OK for amateur radio. Because the two are different services, FCC
can have different rules of what they allow.

Not recommended
though. Just because a government agency says its OK doesn't make it right.


Agreed!

The question is, does this now mean we can say the F word on ham radio?


I wouldn't.

One argument FCC can use to defend the "different rules" thing is that
broadcasting works to a published schedule and the shows are rated in advance.
If you tune in Howard Stern on the radio or the Victoria's Secret Xmas special
on TV, you have a pretty good idea of what you'll hear/see. But on ham radio
there's no schedule, no program guide and no advance ratings.
