[Lowfer] No LF ham band in US

[Steve Dove]

        This truly, truly sucks.

If there were any doubt about the FCC's regard for ham radio under its now blatant 
inversion of Part 15 'rights' over licensed usership, this nails it down tight.  All elements of 
the proposal, 2.4G, 5M and 136k were compromised (or destroyed) by Part 15 lobbying. 

And ironically, it seems the Lowfer community is partially at least victim of its own success.  
To whit the FCC's suggestion that hambones can just toddle off and successfully play at 
LF under Part 15 rules . . .

If you are of a mind to turn the kicked-in-the-guts feeling into fully-fledged ulcers, go to:

This is that 'internet-over-the-power-lines' thing.  The FCC are accepting comments on it 
right now, so that they can obliviously ignore them and ram this ugly, noisome baby 
through.  Has all the hallmarks of a nightmare.

        Sleep well,
