then why Spectrum Auctioning ?? in place of the former
" Who has the best community interest in mind ? " 
Licenses are issued to who pays the most to get them.
And Why the digital craze and mandates by the FCC ??
To conserve spectrum ?? """ My opinion only """ >>>
NAY !!! but to create more channels, thus more
licenses, and ultimately more FCC money !! 
( thank you uncle Clinton ).

You are correct; They are working for the exhorbitant
fees and forfeitures which they now charge to
commercial entities.( thank you uncle Clinton )
Another note of interest: When is the last time you
had to pay to renew your Amateur operators license ?? 
How about when you obtained, renewed, or modified your
experimental license ! Is it not considered Amateur ??

Sometimes whackin a hornets nest with a big ole stick
can cause some interesting things to happen. Let's
watch and see...

73, to all : Andy - KU4XR
