All,
       Wasn't trying to take a pro-ECPA '86 stance, just an "oh, by the way" 
comment that I would not put a statement like that in print.  Enforcement is a 
moot point, unless you scoop the "other" local station who had the only 
person on scene!

       The 450 MHz frequencies are considered "Remote Feeds" and 
Interruptible Feedback loops (broadcast audio back to the Announcer (side tone, if you 
will) that the Director can interrupt to insert his/her comments on (e.g., "Look 
at the OTHER camera!"), not two-way radio channels.  Stuff you hear on 450 MHz 
can also go straight on the air.  

"Doesn't that state "two-way voice communication by radio" is
specifically _not_ protected?"
