His what?

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.

You want us to get you wrong? I'm sold. Watch out for those "gestopo
atempts".

You never did tell me about this "micro broadcasting movement".

What do you want to know about the micro-broadcasting movement???

Is it made up of scofflaw types who have determined that the FCC has no
authority to regulate broadcasting? What is the legal standing of this
"movement". Why does the "movement" receive no play in the several
leading newsmagazines or on TV news shows? Is the objective of the
"movement" to take to the airwaves in defiance of the FCC?

Those questions will do for the moment.


The movemen began due to lack of community progams, consolidation of the
airwaves. As for news magazines an TV news shows there have a number of
article in the papers (Wall Street Journal, Reason Magazine as well as
other) as for news on television it has be talked about on both CNN and FOX.
I think the whole purpose of the movement was to change the system which it
did with the introduction of Low Power FM.



I myself joined the movement in 1998 after I had applied six times for a
license with waivers for a community that didn't have a service. The FCC
wouldn't consider my applications or waivers (which the Federal courts
have
told them repeatly that they (FCC) "must consider waivers" So my opinion
of
the FCC is that they are nothing buts LIARS, and are below pond scum.

You're quite sure that what you interpret as the FCC's non-consideration
of your applications wasn't consideration and rejection? Was it that
your applications and requests for waivers were for something quite
outside the regulations?

The Federal Communication Commission dismissed my application because
according to them I didn't file during a filing window. However under 47 CFR
1.3 the FCC could of consider my waiver. Because under 47 CFR 1.3 the FCC
may consider waivers at anytime if good cause is shown. In my waiver I was
going to provide a television service to a community that doesn't have a TV
service. Which In my humble opinion would constitute a good cause.


I'm sure that if you include terms like "LIARS" and "below pond scum" in
your communications with the FCC, you'll get some special attention.


No it was only after the fact that they didn't consider my waiver I started
calling them liars. They are liars because they would go to court against
pirate radio operators and tell a judge that all a person had to do was
apply for a license and ask for a waiver. But the reality they wouldn't
consider applications or waiver and the FCC dismissing my application proves
that the FCC are nothing but worthless LIARS.


You might want to consider that amateur radio might not be for you,
Todd.
There seems to be some confusion in your mind as to its basis and
purpose.
It is not a broadcasting service.

Not true, Amateurs may run Information Bulletins so, amateur's are not
completely banned from some for a Broadcasting. There is of course a
difference between Broadcasting and Information Bulletins. Broadcast are
programs directed either relayed to the general public. while information
bulletin are bulletins directed to the amateur community with information
dealing with amateur radio. A bulletin according to Webster is a piece of
information directed to the public or a group. So you see some form of
"Broadcasting" is allow. My progam which I run on 10 meter deals with issues
and information concerning Amateur Radio.

If you invest in a 100mw Part 15 AM transmitter and find yourself a nice
clear spot on the BCB, you can play announcer to your heart's content.

Part 15 device are never have nor are attended for broadcasting. Part 15
device are short range as a matter of fact part 15 device are suppose to
have the range to cover a person's yard. I know it can be said that a part
15 device can go farther, however part 15 was not attended for that purpose.
