[Elecraft] HAM GATHERING SIGNATURES ON PETITION

[Scott Manthe]

While that may be true in some kind of libertarian fantasy land, in 
reality the FCC (through PRB-1) and the rest of the federal government 
has a wide range of authority which can impact (or invalidate) local 
laws. This is why one can't legally buy a newly manufactured machine gun 
in any state, or start a marijuana commune, even in states where the 
cannabis has been decriminalized.

That the FCC has chosen not to enforce PRB-1 doesn't mean that the 
agency doesn't have the authority to do so. The current administration 
seems to have a more traditional view of the FCC's place  in the 
regulatory landscape than has been the case since Reagan.
