[GreenKeys] WC2XPF

>I received a telephone call from the FCC at work this morning, advising me
>that the broadcast aspects of WC2XPF must cease.
>
>The reasoning is that broadcasting is not really experimental. Although it
>was requested to allow AMTOR/SITOR(FEC) and PSK31 be used as additional
>modes, it was felt that the original objective had been met, which was to
>determine the public interest in RTTY Broadcasting. Indeed, it has been
>successful beyond my wildest expectations.
>
>Further testing using low power will be allowed on 13972 and 6994, and we
>will do so on a basis such that some new software Bill Bytheway has cooked
>up can be proven to work. We will also be doing some testing on 20 and 40
>meters, inside the ham bands, where we can still run 1500 watts.
>
>I will begin my efforts at getting through to the right person and the
>right branch/bureau at the FCC this coming week. The FCC is a rather
>compartmentalized operation, and if there are no rules governing a
>particular operation, they cannot function.
>
>Thanks to all of you who have been behind me on this project. I don't have
>the heart to just let the past year and a half or so go for nothing. I
>will have to learn the mechanisms, mannerisms, and techniques for dealing
>directly with the FCC. I do not have a big pile of cash, and I am not a
>lawyer. I do feel that I should not have to have either of those
>attributes in order to deal with and be recognized by the FCC.
>
>I will keep GreenKeys posted of all that transpires.

>73, and thanks again,
