There's no "thin line".
It's either an "information bulletin" or it's broadcasting.

There's a BIG difference between an information bulletin and a
broadcast. A broadcast is directed to the general public as a whole
while an information Bulletin is directed to a small group.

And your opinionated broadcasts are just that...Broadcasts.

Stevie As I recall you sent a tape to FCC. am I right? if so what did
they do


Once it's "opinonated" it stops being an "information bulletin"
and becomes an editorial. Editorials are broadcasting.

Not necessary, You can get information out of an opinion, it's up to
the person hearing the opinion to determine if he go's along with that
train of thought.A good example is look at court cases, a ruling by a
court is not called a ruling but an opinion. At any rate Society is
based on two input General information and Opinions you can't just have
one.

Todd, The purpose of an "information bulletin" is to provide the
aforementioned "listener" with specific, timely INFORMATION wth which
to make operational decisions as they pertain to his/her Amateur
station...

Where did you get that definition?

Out of your twisted mind no doubt


And Todd...Society is ALSO based on specific facts.

such as?


As far as Amateur bulletins go, they should be timely, CONCISE
bits of information...propagation updates, rules changes by
FCC...operating activity parameters...short term emergency operation
limits...

according to whom?

You it seems


But an information bulletin has to have INFORMATION in it.
Once tainted by editorialization, it's no longer objective

There is nothing in the FCC rules that stated that, Nor does the FCC
rules state that an Information Bulletin has to be a pure piece of
facts.

Anything LESS than a "pure piece of facts" dilutes the INFORMATION
and thus causes you to DIS-serve the audience you seek to cater to.

according to whom? Never seen the FCC say someting this


The Definition that YOU have given is the Genreral definition of the
word Information bulletin, However, It is NOT defined in the FCC rules.

Anything LESS than a "pure piece of facts" dilutes the INFORMATION
and thus causes you to DIS-serve the audience you seek to cater to.

The FCC has the power to define what a definition is in the rules, for
example the FCC can stated that an informational bulletin may only be a
bono fide newscast, but that is not what we see here. In other words
the FCC can limit what something is provided it the lease restrictive
means necessary to promote govenment interest.

Todd, you're dancing around here hoping to find some resolute hole
in the rules to justify being a junior disc jockey.

K1MAN is in the hot water he's in today partially because most
Amateurs consider his OPINIONATED, copy-cat bulletins to be

Not accarding the FCC
cuting the rest of stevie ranting of his OPINION given without any
rreal facts
