[Lowfer] Rulemaking Ruminations - ONE: Permanent Fixed Location?

No, it doesn't mean you could never move again.  But "permanent" does not 
mean you can just pick up and go at will--that's the very opposite of 
"permanent."

"Fixed location" actually is defined elsewhere in the FCC Rules (Part 2, 
which covers all services), so it can and will be made applicable to Part 97 
if this restriction stands.

More on the implications of this in my response to your reply to my "Don't 
Fence Me In" segment.
