Every repeater in my area ID's on the hour. Sounds to me like it is either the freq. (rate) of the ID, (Say every 15 Min.) or the reference to the website (More likely) that the FCC is having problems with. But MAINLY this station seems to be interfering with another station on A nearby freq. (Freq. Coordination, not required but HIGHLY recommended!) BTW, many Repeaters in my area, with the ID say "The Time is...." or "Good Afternoon/Morning, the time is....", Does the FCC consider Broadcasting? I guess not.
Bruce KE5TPN From: Paul M Schmitter That last paragraph is badly worded. Wheen I read it the first time, I understood it to mean that the reference to his website was the broadcasting being written about, but after reading it again, it leaves some doubt as to whether the IDer is also considered broadcasting. --- "Tony L." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The most recent case posted on the FCC's Amateur > Radio enforcement > actions web site is this one: > > http://www.fcc.gov/eb/AmateurActions/files/BEDNA07_05_25_1078.pdf > > --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "George > Henry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > Can anyone point me to the specific enforcement > case or warning > letter where > > the FCC first said that regular, periodic repeater > ID's > irrespective of > > repeater usage were broadcasting and had to stop? > The FCC's online > archives > > don't seem to go back far enough (seems to me it > was in the 80's), > and all > > the references that DID turn up dealt with > specific interference > cases, not > > the broadcasting issue. > > > > A news item in a QST or CQ column would be > sufficient... > > > > Thanks. > > > > George, KA3HSW / WQGJ413 > > > > > __________________________________________________________ You rock.
