Hello All,
I found this on the VHF reflecor in the US:
by Bill Pasternak WA6ITF.
WA6ITF is or was publishing an Amateur Radio Newsline and
had contacts in the agency due too his present ot previos
work ( Radio & TV broadcasting )
In thr past I havebeen in contact with him about translating
German amatuer radio news items.

will, read the following quote from the ARRL web site:
"When queried about this new statement, the FCC's Consumer Assistance Office
stated that "[T]he information contained on the ROS Web site was not
provided by the FCC." They then reaffirmed the original statements that
originated from the FCC's Wireless Bureau, which handles Amateur Radio rules
for the US."
So the Consumer Assistance Office did not make any statements other than
that the information on the ROS site did not come from the FCC, and that the
FCC's declarations came from the Wireless Bureau. That sounds suspiciously
to me like the same place you suggested we ask.
