"Dee D. Flint" wrote- I repeat the words in 97.1a amount only to a recognition of the fact that we do public service and encouragement to us to continue. It is not an authorization to do public service. We need no authorization whatsoever to do public service. Amateur radio operators have always participated in public service and have done so since before those words were incorporated into the FCC rules. There is NO mandate. There is NO authorization. You guys are engaged in picking fly**** out of the pepper pot. Since 97.1 is headlined "Basis and Purpose", we can pretty much accept that 97.1(a) is the equivalent of a direct order. Putting it another way, if ARRL BoD at their meeting this weekend passes a resolution that the FCC has not authorized us to public service communications, and therefore hams are no longer mandated to provide it, our continued use of the spectrum would come to a quick end. 73, de Hans, K0HB |
