... Subject: Why You Don't Like The ARRL From: (Brian) Date: 12/26/03 3:01 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: How many amateur radio services do we really need? How many do you really want? One radio service with a TIERED license structure, Brain. Obviously you do not concur with the FCC's "Basis and Purpose" of the Amateur Radio Service, espeically those that establish the service as one of "self-training". A "single license" concept does not support that premise, Brain. A tiered one does. Was that too difficult for you? Steve, K4YZ Speaking of which, the FCC needs to update the whole section on ham radio R&R. ESPECIALLY the Basis and Purpose. That portion is so far removed from the spirit and letter of reasons why people are in ham radio these days, and that's a pity of course--but a reality nevertheless. Kim W5TIT |

I have a brilliant solution for you, Kim. Draft a document called a Petition for Rule Making and in it say: I request that Part 97 of the FCC Rules and Regulations be amended to read as follows: and then write what YOU think the exact wording of each section that you want changes should say. Add to that the reasons for each change and your standing and qualfications for them to give serious consideration to your request. Send it to the Secretary of the Commission, original and 11 copies. Then sit back and wait. I wish you luck. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane |

I've got other irons in the fire dealing with things much closer to my heart than ham radio... So, I assume you're of the opinion that even if someone petitioned, it would not be worth the while?

I'm running over 75% of petitions granted, which is a pretty good batting average. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon |
