Essentially, the VE team practice of using Farnsworth spacing, however convenient for all involved, DID NOT HAVE A LEGAL BASIS FOR THAT PRACTICE. Actually, it did have a legal basis. The FCC was informed By whom? Does it matter? The FCC has placed "ringers" in VE tests before and has never...not even once...questioned the validity, quality or method of delivery of Element 1. of the use of Farnsworth-spaced Morse Code, and of other standard practices of the VE teams. "Standard practices?" Wow!!! A wasted piece of correspondence if there were ever one! "I hereby inform the FCC that I am using standard, good amateur practices. Does the FCC agree or disagree? You have 72 hours to respond. Without a dissenting opinion, this standard, good amateur practice becomes law." Hihi! Why would the VEC's have to inform the FCC of standard, good amateur practice??? Because they weren't standard? Because they were at variance with the regulations? How long after the fact of implementing these "standard practices" did the VEC's notify the FCC? Brain, you really are stretching for a "pont" to make, aren't you? FCC took no exceptions, and there were no dissenting opinions in the FCC or the VE teams. Can you document that the FCC even received such a notification? Can you document they ahven't? Therefore, the use of Farnsworth spaced Morse Code had a legal basis. In addition, anyone who prefers non-Farnsworth-spaced Morse Code for their test need merely request it and the VE team will provide it. Hmmm? Wonder what a person would call "non-Farnsworth-spaced" Morse Code? Indeed. Does it matter? The FCC itself ahs no argument with it. Those who understand how Morse Code works have no problem with the use of Farnsworth spacing. Really? Really. I understand Morse Code perfectly (to about 40WPM in contests...25WPM in "routine" QSO's...I have no problem with it at all. Those who study "non-Farnsworth-spaced" Morse Code may not know enough to ask for "non-Farnsworth-spaced" Morse Code. They will be unprepared for the significantly faster delivery of Farnsworth Code - and they fail. They go home scratching their head wondering why they choked on the exam. Oh? You have some "scientific" studies that valiate this asertion, Brain? You've done a side-by-side comparison of different methodologies to validate this? Just FYI, the "non-Farnsworth-spaced Morse Code" is referred to as Morse Code. You will find references to it in Part 97, but you will find no reference to "Farnsworth-spaced Morse Code." There is NO reference to spacing techniques in Part 97 for Morse Code. There is no "technical specification" for Morse Code in any federal regulation that I am aware of. Post one and I will acknowledge it publically. Post it, show me a federal law that says THIS is the "Morse Code" that MUST be used and I will send you a Savings Bond for $100. Considering the number of times that Part 97 has been toyed with, you would think that the FCC could make a mention of it. But they haven't. So much for your "legal basis." English jurisprudence has established that those things not specifically prohibited or regulated by law are not illegal...Therefore ARE "legal". All you repeat again and again is the "non-dissenting FCC opinion." So what is the date of this correspondence? Has the FCC "dissented" to the use of Farnsworth-spaced Morse Code? Has it not had the opportunity to intervene if it DID think that it was improper or illegal to use? Have you not yet found any evidence to support YOUR assertion that unlicensed radio services play a "major role" in "emergency comms"...?!?! Inquiring minds WANT to know! Steve, K4YZ |
