If Bill Cross really meant it when he said ''Detailed regulation of the nitty
gritty of communication services, including the Amateur Service, is not in the
picture, rather the FCC is shifting to strong and effective enforcement of truly
necessary regulations.'', then this petition should receive favorable
consideration by the Commission.

Personally, I think ARRL's petition is waaaaaaaaaaay too conservative. Let's
all propose the following re-write of Part 97.

All very good and logical but it doesn't have the full
support of the elite ruling NAAR (formerly ARRL)
membership. Here is a much shorter version:


97.1 Amateur Radio Service is whatever NAAR says it is.

97.2 Refer to 97.1.

========

There, that should give NAAR what what it has wanted all
along, assures the ARRL Press division to keep on
printin' and making money for the League, thereby keeping
Dave S. assured of pulling down $150K a year for as long
as he is Trustee of the "Residence Radio Club." The
Church of St. Hiram can be assured of a full collection
plate and all may live happily ever after on Fantasy
Island with Mr. Roarke and Tattoo and reruns. Everyone
licensed before 11 Sep 01 gets a lovely medal for being
"homeland security before there was homeland security"
and a nice certificate, suitable for framing.

Amen,
