The FCC doesn't want to end up doing this sort of micro-

such as "good amateur practice".

Riley says that "Good Amateur Practice" is enforceable.

No one here believes it, though.

Who doesn't believe it, Brain?

Quotes? Posts?

I know for a fact that Dave Heil, Jim Miccolis and myself have
all
stated that FCC policy has been to minimize enforcement action in
lieu
of self-policing, but has and will continue to issue citations to
those
who violate established band plans, etc, when required to do so.

Now...WHO doesn't believe that "Good Amateur Practice" isn't
enforceable?

Steve, K4YZ

Simple. All those who think that communicating with out of band
frenchmen is good amateur practice.

You've not answered my question, Brian.

Who doesn't believe that "Good Amateur Practice" isn't

Was the person you allege to have made this transgression
operating his station within the parameters of his license?
(Remember...only TRANSMITTING is regulated by the license...NOT
receiving).

Was the person obligated by law to know the bandplans of the
French (or any foreign) operators?

Do YOU know the bandplans of all the foreign stations YOU "work"?


Can you attest to the 100% legality of any contacts you have made
based upon any out-of-band operation by the foreign operator?

Come on, Brian...You're insinuating you have some inside knowldege
on foreign operating, here...Strut your stuff.
