Guess I must have missed something. I haven't heard they were adding a
100 kHz to the band. A brief web search on this topic showed nothing.
Even if it was true, why would the ARRL be a "loser" when one of our ham
bands is expanded?

then the ham clowns can goof around and play Disc Jocky all they want,

Sorry, I miss the connection. If somebody wants to be a disc jockey, I
would think they would just do it anyway -- without waiting for the band
to be expanded. And it doesn't necessarily have to be just hams that are
playing DJ.

your problem now.

Well, I don't know about the ARRL being losers; I would think that all
hams are the losers.

Also, don't overlook that it takes money for the FCC to monitor. It
seems the conservatives are putting the squeeze on federal funds.
Because of budget cutbacks, the FCC is closing 10 or 11 of its field
offices. With less staff and fewer monitoring sites, you are right --
the FCC may have to use their now limited resources on bigger problems
than some kid playing disc jockey for an hour.
