Yet there are no widespread problems, reported by the FCC or other

Out of band emissions, and so on, are not dependant on HF, Hans. Again, no
widespread problems relating to that.


However, we can soon expect rules changes
which may extend their turf to parts of the
spectrum where their ignorance can have
worldwide visibility and consequences. And
that scares the bejeebers out of me.


Yet that very thing is happening in many countries around the world, with
none yet reporting any problems whatsoever. Or is it just American operators
(their "ignorance") that scares the "bejeebers" out of you?
