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. If it is labeled "broad" -cast, it is intended for a _wider_ audience, defined by the FCC as the general population. If it is information _narrowly_ aimed at radio hams, then it is "Information Bulletin" and should be labeled as such. That is a distinction with a difference. |
