Hi John

After a direct mail with nonsense from some of you, my spam filter takes 
care of the most prominent wanna be lawyers on this  group. They never 
reached my mail box.

  In the Army we called these amateur lawyers, barracks lawyers (HI).
 
  As a result they often over interpret fuzzy parts of regulations.
  And, they also over emphasize apparently clear parts of the same regs.
 
  Unfortunately, in this process, they often error on the excessively
  conservative side of the interpretation, thus frequently cutting their
  own radio experimental throats in the process.
 
  Always, when you talk with a FCC government official off-the-record
  and over a beer or at dinner, it is obvious to see that as long as nobody
  complains, they could not care less. This is especially true regarding
  Amateur Radio. However, most Hams are unable to see the light,
  thus the strange interpretations you will hear from US Hams.

  Hi my American HAM friends,
 
  If I have understood this right , this FCC rules of yours make it
  impossibility for you to use rfsm2400 as a keyboard to Keyboard mode.
  But you can use it for transmitting digital pictures on 14.240 MHz. It
  seems a little bit strange to me , but anyway ; let's try to exchange
  some pictures. I have tried this with a few european friends and it
  works great.
 
  I am qrv on 14.240 MHz from 17.30 utc until midnight local time.

This is the most intelligent post on the subject of FCC regs as they 
relate to digital that I have seen.  I agree wholeheartedly.
