Regulation-by-Bandwidth Petition Filed by ARRL

Personally, I think ARRL's petition is waaaaaaaaaaay too conservative. Let's all propose the following re-write of Part 97. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 97.1 You are required to pass a technical test to show that you understand how to build simple equipment which meets spectral purity specifications of .....blah, blah, blah. You will be issued a callsign when you pass the test. Transmit your call sign once every 10 minutes when on the air. 97.2 Your power limit is 1.5KW to the antenna. 97.3 Here are your bands. Stay inside of them. 97.4 Your are encouraged to tinker and experiment and communicate and do public service and talk to strangers in far away lands and launch communications satelites into space and other technical radio stuff you may think up. The government doesn't care what mode you use for any of this. 97.5 Play nice. We'll try to keep the CBers out of your hair. Any deliberate interference or other assinine behaviour on your part will cause Riley to come and kick your ass off the playground. 97.6 Have fun. Love always, /signed/ FCC --------------------------------------------------------------------- 73, Hans, K0HB -- Support the National Endowment for Creative Misology. What happened to "97.01 You are required to know Morse Code"? |
