[Elecraft] Waaay OT: A new kind of QRM to be aware of ... warning issued by FCC today

[Ian Kahn]

If you are an ARRL member, you also received an emailed statement from them
today, reiterating their position on the appropriate uses of amateur radio.

It isn't surprising that those involved in the January 6 insurrection and
attempted coup used radio comms of SOME kind to organize and coordinate
activities. I hope none involved were hams. If any were, I hope that, at
the very least, their licenses are permanently revoked. Regardless of your
political leanings, there is no room for this kind of behavior in the
amateur radio community.

73 de,
