Hello again everyone!!

I had finished the first program and I will air it tomorrow night (January
4) at 9.00 pm CST on 28.550 MHz


Great choice of band.....

Not only is propagation rare at night on ten, it's now
at the bottom of the sunspot cycle which means rare
propagation even in daytime......

One positive thing is that you won't be bothering
anyone beyond a hundred miles around your QTH. ;-)

Hello, well tonight's broadcast is over. I'll probably rebroadcast it
tomorrow night on 20 meters

Take the tape of it and encode it to an mp3
file, then post it on your web site. Then everyone
can listen at their convenience. And you won't
be tying up ham band bandwidth.

You know W1AW could do the same thing. Heck the internet solves everything!
maybe we should get rid of ham radio? after all everything you can do on ham
radio you can do on the internet. Get rid of ham radio and we wouldn't have
to worry about Hollingworth and his gestopo stomping on free speech. I'm
sure all the ham bands we have can but sold off and used for some other
service. Do get me wrong I'm all for ham radio but I am not for this crap of
ham radio operators or the FCC gestopo atempts to control the content of
amateur radio stations. I think since we have the internet we really don't
need amateur radio or broadcast services because all of that could be done
on web and thus, would free a lot of spectrum up.

I have always thought that "broadcast" is NOT allowed on amateur bands.
Where am I mistaken?

With one exception.

The "one exception" is "Communications directly related to the
immediate safety of human life or the protection of property may be
provided by amateur stations to broadcasters for dissemination to the
public where no other means of communication is reasonably available
before or at the time of the event." The "one exception" is not
"broadcasting to amateur operators."

Other than the safety exception, Section 97.113 "prohibits amateur
stations from engaging in any form of broadcasting or in any activity
related to program production or news gathering for broadcasting
purposes." Section 97.3 defines the term "broadcasting," in the context
of the amateur service, as "a transmission intended for reception by
the general public, either direct or delayed."

What N9OGL and K1MAN contend is "legal" broadcasting is defined by the
FCC in in Section 97.3 as "an Information Bulletin." It is a message
directed "only to amateur operators" and consists "solely of subject
matter of direct interest to the amateur service. The control operator
of the station transmitting an information bulletin is responsible for
determining that the subject matter is of direct interest to the
amateur service."

To label information bulletins as "broadcasting" is just wrong. The
responsibility of the control operator to determine appropriate subject
matter for one-way communications should not be construed to allow
one-way commentary on non-radio issues (such as baseball) just because
radio operators are interested in baseball.

"Section 97.111(b) provides for one-way communications. In summary,
auxiliary, beacon, space and stations in distress are specifically
authorized to make certain one-way transmissions. Additionally, an
amateur station may transmit the following types of one-way
communications:
1. Brief transmissions necessary to make adjustments to the station;
2. Brief transmissions necessary for establishing two-way
communications with other stations;
3. Telecommand;
4. Transmissions necessary to providing emergency communications;
5. Transmissions necessary to assisting persons learning, or improving
proficiency in, the international Morse code;
6. Transmissions necessary to disseminate an information bulletin; and
7. Telemetry."

Of course you have never heard my program which is nothing but amateur radio
information and only amateur radio information..
