[Milsurplus] [ARC5] Fair Radio Pulling the Plug

[hwhall@aol.com]

 The way I read that is they're recognizing that we are not a "service" provided by the government or by commerce. We provide services, as do any volunteers, but we are not a formally organized & managed service provider system. Does that make sense?

    Kurt,       Not home right now but here is a snippet of the FCC notice I sent to the RFI group. See the note in parenthesis:

In the announcement announcing the Amateur Radio Application the FCC stated "As we have noted previously, '[W]hile the value of the amateur service to the public as a voluntary noncommercial communications service, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications, is one of the underlying principles of the amateur service, the amateur service is not an emergency radio service.'"
