If a person or group does not carry through on an assignment, then that assignment is given to a group who will. Dee, I've repeatedly explained to you what was meant by the word mandate. Nothing is required or mandatory in the context used. Likewise, without a stated obligation, there is nothing required or mandatory in giving an assignment or task to someone (or in giving authorization to someone). If you still cannot understand this, I suggest you look carefully at the words "mandate," "assigns," "authorization," and so on, including the synonyms. I have nothing more to say on the matter. I repeat, Part 97 does NOT mandate in any way shape or form that amateurs participate in public service. Sorry, but public service is at the very heart of the basic and purpose of the Amateur Radio Service (as described in 97.1). And, while there is nothing mandatory about it, the mandate (authorization) to do so still remains. Likewise, I have nothing more to say on this matter. Again nothing in Part 97 gives amateurs a mandate in any sense of the meaning of the word. It does NOT in any section of Part 97 authorize us to do or assign us to do public service. So you remain wrong. I've just finished reviewing Part 97 and it's not there. In 97.1 it is "recognition and enhancement of the value..". That is not a mandate, that is not authorization, that is not an assignment. It is a way of justifying allowing us to continue to have the frequencies and privileges that we enjoy but that is not a mandate. We will all laminate your words and keep them in our wallets... especially for the next morseperson demanding that morse code testing be kept for similar reasons... :-) WMD |
