Default Why Do You Hams

why do you hams bother with a license?
the Tenth Ammendment clearly allows anyone to operate any
radio without a license on any frequency at anytime or place.

And since radio waves do not respect state or national
boundaries, why is it that you don't believe that Article I,
Section 8, Para 3 of the Constitution doesn't apply?

nope the supremacy clause applies first

It goes that treaties are the supreme law of the land now prior to the
ITU treaty ( or what ever what is now called the ITU treaty was caled
then) I would agree the 10th likwely applies only the elsatic clause
could apply to Ham radio certainly not the comerece clause (Comerce law
was use to regulate the ARS at first but I beleiev that was legaly
incorrect


but importantly the FCC holds the power of the gun so to speak wether
the FCC is in or out of its constitutional power for the present IT
hold the power to enforce liecnsure of the ARS

The USA signed the ITU treaty thus we have internationally agreed to it's
requirements, one of which is to prove that anybody operating an Amateur
Radio Station meets the minimum proficiency requirements as outlined in
that treaty. The US congress ratified the the agreement, making it
official and legally binding, and they have delegated the authority to
enforce the treaty requirements to a federal agency, a.k.a FCC, by an act
of congress.

By requiring the operator to have a license shows they meet
the treaty minimum requirements by passing tests before they are issued
the license. The FCC can impose higher standards but the minimum is set by
the ITU treaty agreement. As any body who should have taken government
class in grade school the first thing you learn is the rights granted in
the Constitution are not absolute, i.e. they have bounds.

I posed this question to U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton's office
and was told that a "blanket license" covered channels 1-40.
All channels above 40 are unassigned and no license is required
to operate there. The same thing applies to all channels below
channel one. However, hams operating below channel one
are limited to 500 watts, while hams operating above channel
40 can run unlimited power.

7 thirds,

Ernie
