Wrong Toadfish you don't even know your own countries law, so to show

KNOW ALREADY.]

I do know thank you very much, more then what some of these morons on
here know.

Whilst I'm not American, I would bet (yes, I looked at fcc site) that as
the FCC is the department responsible for radio and tele communications
then it would and does have regulatory power over the internet.

Technically the do, however, they don't have control over the CONTENT.
The US congress from 1996 to 2005 has tried to give the FCC the power
over the content of the Internet, but our Federal courts has repeatedly
struck them down as being unconsititutional, see Communication Decency
Act 1996

SO ACCORDING TO THE US LEGISLATION I HAVE JUST READ THE FCC DOES GOVERN
WHATEVER TRAVELS VIA THE MEDIUMS MENTIONED BELOW, WHICH MEANS THE WEB
TOADFISH. SO I SUGGEST AS MANY US HAMS AS POSSIBLE FILE COMPLAINTS
AGAINST K1MAN, N9OGL AND OTHERS THAT MAKE THREATS, ARE OBSCENE ETC AND
BRING AMATEUR RADIO INTO DISREPUTE.

except content, Again the FCC is prohibited from controlling the
content of a website. As for radio they are also prohibited from
controlling the content of a station. Section 326 of the Communication
Act of 1934 prohibits the FCC from controling the content of any radio
station, except obscene and indecent material. (See below)


§ 326. Censorship

Nothing in this chapter shall be understood or construed to give the
Commission the power of censorship over the radio communications or
signals transmitted by any radio station, and no regulation or
condition shall be promulgated or fixed by the Commission which shall
interfere with the right of free speech by means of radio
communication.

(47 USC 326)


PEOPLE LIKE N9OGL AND K1MAN ARE A BPL COMPANIES DREAM, WHAT A GREAT
EXAMPLE OF 'HAM RADIO' THEY PROVIDE. HOW LONG WOULD THE PUBLIC SUPPORT
US IF A BPL CO GOT A STORY LIKE THAT ONTO PRIME TIME?

From FCC Site:
"The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is
charged with regulating interstate and international communications by
radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC's jurisdiction
covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions."

So if your stupidity-Toadfish-travels by tv, radio, wire, satellite or
cable then you can have a complaint lodged against you. How does the
internet arrive at your QTH Toadfish? Immaculate Connection perhaps?

Again, the FCC isn't allow to control the content of a website. They
are also prohibited to control the content of any radio station, except
obscene and indecent material over radio or tv. As a matter of fact the
link litoi posted is a link to the FCC complaint form for indecency
over broadcast radio.

Which means, they can and do also regulate the internet within the US
and possessions...idiot. For a ham Mr Toad, I thought you'd know what
tele and radio communications mean. Just shows how thick you are, here's
a VK that know's more about your FCC than you do, just shows how little
about the FCC and your regs that you actually know. Perhaps a licence
re-test for you as you appear to need to study up on regulations Toadfish.

Hon, let me tell you something I've been in radio and communications a
long time, LOOOONNNNG before I got into amateur radio and my knowledge
over radio law is a little better then what you and some of amateur
radio operators (who I would call nothing more then licensed CB
operators) think.


BTW. We have a ham in VK who does his own radio show each week, like
Toadfish and K1MAN but it's nothing like thier crap. See, this VK uses
AM on 160m with a 2m FM crossband signal and has technical discussions
with other hams, as he was a former radio broadcaster, he enjoys using
the AM mode, but he uses professional, commercial standard AM broadcast
equipment, not a CD Walkman and a Walmart microcphone plugged into a
Karoake machine. He also puts on old, historic broadcasts that the
stations he worked at turfed out years ago-such as the 1930 Melbourne
Cup, the Skylab Crash, WW1 & WW2 transmissions from world leaders,
advertisments from last century, mostly during Radio's Golden Age. But
these are of a historical nature and are really archival audio, that
many VK's enjoy listening to every Saturday night. They've also done
shows from the beach on New Year's Eve over the years. What they do is
just within the regs, but these guys do it professionally with
professional equipment. He does not put his show up on THE PRIME DX
BAND, does he Toady.

First of toots, I don't use a "walmart walkman" and a "karoake machine"
I run top of the line "commercial quality equipment" including duel CD
player and duel CD burners (no computer burners but industy recording
burners. duel tape / editing equipment, two audio mixers and recently
i've been formatting old programs I've done into MP3 format with my
iMac G5

Secondly babe, There is no rule in the FCC rules that prohibit
Information bulletins on any band, back in mid 90's W5YI and others
tried to get the rule changed to prohibit information bulletins on any
HF band the ones against this change...ARRL which rules information
bulletins on a number of HF bands (more band then I run mine on). Today
the FCC will not hear any changes regarding prohibiting information
bulletins on any HF band


Fortunatly, we don't get the Toad Bulletin or K1MAN's b/s down under,
but I'm willing to bet, that if anyone here downloads and listens to
the
VK AM 'broadcasts' of VK3ASE from his website, that they will be at
least within the amateur service regs. Remember it's a bit of silly fun

to these guys.

The problem I think you and a number of amateur operators have is it:
The difference here between legal and illegal one-way communications a
illegal one-communication is a broadcast. A broadcast under FCC rules
is a transmitted directed to the general public. A information bulletin
is a bulletin directed to amatuer operators consisting sole of material
of interest to the amateur community. Now I know you and and few amatur
operators on here are SLOW so let me give you some examples.

if my show, the n9ogl show was on 20 meter and I was talking about
healthcare, that would be considered a broadcast. because it is not of
amateur interest and would fall under the Broadcasting rules. Now if My
show was on 20 meters and giving my opinion regarding national antenna
regulation and how it affects amateur radio it would be considered an
information bulletin. Hams need to get it through their heads there is
NO FCC STANDARD on what format amateur's are suppose to use in regards
to information bulletin, amateur's have got it in their thick heads
that a information bulletin has to be a "NEWSCAST" however there is NO
FCC rule or order that states that. The FCC does in a sense look at the
content to see if it's of amateur in natural. The problem is however if
that hasn't been tested in the courts, which have somewhat the final
say in the whole thing.

If your local AM station was, say, attacked Toady, could you take over
and become their studio/transmitter immediatly? If yes, then you have
met some standards. If not, then what you're doing is a waste of time. .

eh?

He doesn't- (a) put his show on HF DX bands, (c)is carrying out
technical investigation (c) his shows and studio is a former AM station
and his signal is of the highest (almost as good as MW stations)
standard. (d) other hams are there talking cross-band, so it becomes
like a 'ham-radio talkback show' if you like. But the main difference I
notice is these guys do it for fun and a bit of a laugh on a Sat night,
Toady & K1MAN have this granduer dream that they are somehow important,
and as they are so important, the need a bulletin like the ARRL.

No dreams of graduer here babe, I do it fun, the problem is a bunch of
****ing licensed CB operators dictating to another station on how he is
to run his station.

[I suggest you look here Toady, to see how an amateur does 'bulletins'
properly. http://members-central.optushome.com.au/vk3ase/

Look at pictures on that homepage Toady....and clean that mess of ya
screen!

After much reading this n/g I have concluded that N9OGL and K1MAN are
politicians in training. Only pollies could be such ******s LOL.

Oh, I know, K1MAN and N9OGL should team up with Eminem, 'cause the FCC
won't let him be' either... and you could all work together to 'screw
the fcc'. ]

Whatever toots, go back to playing with your kangaroos
