Re: [AMRadio] k1man fined
Interesting stuff... The DISCUSSION section about mentioninmg a web site is interesting - that may now be an issue, but I didn't see any firm conclusion. Also I would think ARRL in Newington should be VERY careful before they fire up their W1AW Broadcasts now. This precedent could easily be applied to them, if someone wanted to entrap them. I can't imagine that happening at the moment, but if in the future the ARRL becomes very unpopular, radio amateurs and the FCC could easily go after W1AW with these same legal reasonings. I wonder if he will file an appeal with the Department of Justice or the superior courts etc. In the past this guy has always found so many options in the courts. The whole thing has this flavor of and old time feud... seems like it should be tried in rural Kentucky rather than in Maine or Boston!

Re: [AMRadio] k1man fined
You are absolutely correct Brian. As a non-member of the ARRgghhL, I do not get their reports or broadcasting (since it is a single transmission to the masses) schedule. I hate like hell to admit but I found myself somewhat sympathetic to K1(wo)MAN's cause whereas he was afforded the same style broadcast as W1AW. Disregard the programming, the same modus operandi, if you will, lumps both together. Personally, I didn't see why the (be)League(d) didn't petition for licensing their station just on the outside of the ham bands when this issue raised its ugly head years ago. They, the (be)League(d) should have had the foresight to see that Glen would use the what's good for the goose is good for the gander point of view and ultimately challenge the ARRgghhL until he finally got his way. I don't have a rule book in front of me but I thought that one-way transmissions, in and of their self was prohibited by the FCC until this issue came up. I think the ARRgghhL could have save themselves, and the ham community allot of frustration, by doing a logical left shift up band, had they seen this snowball rolling down the mountain.

Re: [AMRadio] For sale items, today only
San Antonio has always been a 'retirement haven' for some military folk. As a result, a lot of residents are 'aged'. Back when my Dad was the First Class FCC Phone (with Radar endorsement) Chief Engineer of KITE (930kHz then) the 'jocks' decided to play a joke. The very liked and popular AM Drive-time Tom and Duckie show, with Tom East and Duckie, a British immigrant who was popular because of the recent Beatles invasion. This was 1960's. Anyway, the morning show personalities were to be replaced, as it was announced on the afternoon program (forget who the DJ was then... Ricky Ware? Jud Ashomre?). Then, as the public became aware, and called in, Tom would announce, on the air, that no indeed, the MORNING show wasn't going anywhere, and in fact it was the afternoon show that was getting a replacement jock. Back and forth this went on for 2 weeks, all the while announcing that the changes in staff personell would take place on 1 April. Don't know how many listeners 'got it', but the amount of call-in's proved that they were sure drawing an audience! Of course, no one changed jobs ;-) -- 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR

Re: [AMRadio] k1man fined
No kidding Pete?! Is it my responsibility to check the ARRgghhL web site for their transmissions? Some may visit it more than others but I do not (nor do I care). In reference to the broadcasting, this is what I said: I don't have a rule book in front of me but I thought that one-way transmissions, in and of their self was prohibited by the FCC until this issue came up. Clue: read the last part of my statement carefully. Personally, I think that the ARRgghhL should cease and desist with their one-way transmissions since they never check the frequency to see if it is in use. I hold them in the same low esteem as K1(wo)MAN. To me that is intentional QRM and is subject to the same set of rules that you cite. Their best bet would be to get permission or licensing to broadcast just outside of the ham bands and not cause any problems to anyone.
