In spite of temperaments (my roots are spanish somewhere in the past) it
has gone to extremes it never should have got even near to. Statements
like "FCC will have to pay me to see my code", the threat of legal
action to someone who just was looking for his own spectrum management
administration approval, the threat of banning certain callsigns, plus
the following spanish statement in his web page:

FCC: ROS LEGAL IN USA
<http://rosmodem.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/fcc-ros-legal-in-usa/>
2 March, 2010 by José Alberto Nieto Ros
It ended the controversy about whether ROS is legal in USA or not.
For which they insisted on it was illegal: "A mamarla"

I understand he meaning of the final part like "Suck my p...." , which
is not exactly nice or well mannered.
From my point of view, just stating "It ended the controversy about
whether ROS is legal in USA or not" was enough.

Marc,
I'm not saying that, I'd be happy to support ROS and I do think it's
a rather good experimental mode. Ok so it is wide but as I said
"experimental"
I think Jose did a fantastic job of making a software package for a
completely new type of ham radio mode. BUT,
The debate is getting out of hand (period)
There are reports of much QRM with the mode as no one seems to know
where to operate. Or they just don't give a damn where they operate.
Have you checked your messages? How many on this subject since the
software came out a few weeks ago. 1000+?
Is there nothing else we can talk about.
People are worried about their operating privileges in certain
countries. And why not if there is a problem.
There shouldn't be and I don't think there are real ROS haters, just
those who probably want nothing more to do with it, this discussion
and I can see some people un subscribing from the group or sticking it
to the junk filter !!!!
In keeping with ham radio, I think everyone should calm down a bit and
maybe do a bit of operating now that cycle 24 is in progress, rather
than worrying about this.
Oh and I just had a listen and I cant hear the beacons due to ROS and
a packet station. 14.101 is just too close I think.
Listen on 14.100 and you will hear.

Yeah let's stop our support for ROS on this group as well as on K3UK's
sked page... Let us created two camps: the ROS haters and the ROS
lovers...the good guys and the bad guys, and all in the name of the
ham radio spirit of course!!
