So why are you broadcasting on a dead band?


I'm "broadcasting" on a dead band so not to cause harmful interference.



Aside from hams within about 50 miles of you, who's
gonna be able to hear it? Still say the Internet is
a better tool for this....


Well so could amateur radio. Let's get rid of amateur radio all together and
all go to the internet. All the stuff the amateur do can all be done on the
internet. I sure all the amateur bands could be used for another service.
Think about it if all of the amateurs move to the internet they wouldn't
have to worry about BPL.


The rules on "content" just say "no pecuniary interest",
no "broadcast of material other than stuff hams and
noone else would be interested in" but 2 way or multi
ham nets can talk about anything they want except offensive
or indecent material or anything that would be pecuniary.
Also no false distress calls and such either.

Pecuniary Interest means some kind of business or financial gain.This
however is all true because the FCC has changed the rules to stuff that used
to be consider "pecuniary intrest" and now is legal for amateurs. If
amateurs aren't allowed to have pecuniary interest then W1AW shouldn't be
allowed on the air because of it's pecuniary interest.

Let's get rid of amateur radio all together and
all go to the internet.

Why should we do that?

All the stuff the amateur do can all be done on the
internet.

Really? I don't believe you. Can I work meteor scatter on the
internet?
Can I work 160m DXCC on the internet? Can I use the internet in an
emergency when the phone lines are down?

I sure all the amateur bands could be used for another service.

"I sure" they could be too. Why would they be?

Think about it if all of the amateurs move to the internet they wouldn't
have to worry about BPL.

All amateurs should move to the internet

Let's get rid of amateur radio all together and
all go to the internet.

Why should we do that?

Because someone said I should have my information bulletin on the web. Since
that's the solution then maybe we should ALL go the web and the FCC auction
off all the spectrum we have.

With the advancement of the internet with BPL and wireless. I'm sure some
moron will come up with a way so the internet will remain on while
phonelines are down. The majority of amateur don't contest.

I sure all the amateur bands could be used for another service.

"I sure" they could be too. Why would they be?

well like I said the solution as one person put it is to put stuff like
information bulletins on the internet.

Think about it if all of the amateurs move to the internet they wouldn't
have to worry about BPL.

Sounds like a plan. You move your broadcast there, and we'll all follow.
If we don't show up on time, start without us.

For what possible purpose? The internet isn't amateur radio.

No, Todd. The suggestion was for you and others who want to play "boy
broadcaster".

All the stuff the amateur do can all be done on the
internet.

That's pretty unlikely. Not only do the phones go out in summer and
winter storms here, often the power goes with it. Not all of us live in
cities, Todd.

The majority of amateur don't contest.

Where was anything written about contesting?

I sure all the amateur bands could be used for another service.

"I sure" they could be too. Why would they be?

well like I said the solution as one person put it is to put stuff like

I'm not promulgating information bulletins. I suppose that means I'll
stick to the ham bands.
