Hi Dave, But did you not just state "In today's world, (e) is arguably the most important"
To me your statement read that you placed 97.1(e) in the priority. My purpose of the posting on Part 97.1 was to make a point that the rules are very much interpreted by all that read them, to include the entire basis for the existence of the Amateur Radio Service. I believe the bandwidth on this forum would be much better utilized to discuss the technical aspects of digital radio communications and to assist our fellow Amateurs seeking help with the digital modes rather than moving off focus. The statement intent of intent for focus of this forum lists many protocols and tools and I think is pretty clear as follows: " This is a meeting place to discuss amateur radio digital applications such as RTTY, CW, PSK31,PSK63/125, MFSK16, Olivia-MFSK, PAX, Chip64, DominoEX, THROB, ALE, PACTOR, AMTOR, HELL, SSTV, Digital SSTV, and more. There are several reflectors dedicated to these separate modes but this group focuses on ALL digital modes. Software applications such as MixW, Logger32, MMVARI, MMTTY, MultiPSK, Hamscope, Winwarbler/DXLAB, Digipan, etc, etc, are often discussed. Theory of digital communications is encouraged. Experimentation with new digital modes is also encouraged. Questions from newcomers are welcome" If is of course all up to Andy as to the direction personality of this forum. Personally, I am interested in discussing many aspects of Amateur Digital Communications and of course those of which I am most involved will be of more interest to me than ones that I am not so much involved. I do not knock another digital mode for its existence or use, I look for ways to coexist with all modes. I am not pushing anything, just interested in discussing the technical aspects of technology and being of assistance, this is where I am coming from in my use of this forum. /s/ Steve, N2CKH At 10:39 AM 8/27/2006, you wrote: >No priority is stated, thus all of the principles set forth in §97.1 >are equally important. > >In particular, no one can claim that one activity is more important >than another solely because its applicable principle has a lower >ordinal. > >This is not a matter of interpretation.
