Skip Do you really think the FCC will put that much effort into this? They really want amateur radio to be self regulating. I think that people who bother the comish with such trivia degrades the hobby. When the administration of our activities become too burdensome, the FCC will be less inclined

Self-regulating means that we police ourselves and obey the rules on the honor system. It also might mean the Official Observers assist in regulations. Regulating means following rules, not interpreting them for our own benefit, but as accurately as possible. If you were the FCC and had

Hi Dave, I don't think using 14.101 USB is the main reason for QRM on the 20m NCDXF frequency. But some guys were definitely using ROS on 14.098 which was very silly. I agree - I think the ROS waveform starts around 400Hz so I would expect the lowest ROS tone to be about 1400Hz higher than

The problem is that the FCC regulations are overly complex and people need a specialized engineering background to interpret some of them. 99% of the licensees probably can't interpret every word in the regulations so they ask for help in this forum when something is not clear. 73, John
