By the way, Docket 98-143 had 303 ADDITIONAL filings after
the twice-revised final end date of 15 Jan 05, the latest
being
made on 5 August 2005! :-)

Why does that matter?

becuase it isn't suposed to happen at least if it does they are all
suposed to have been mailed before the deadline
why does it seem you don't care about the
rule of of law when it suits you

There's no violation of law if someone sends in a late comment.

sure is

There's a violation of law if someone sends in a late comment??
What law is violated if someone sends in a comment after the
deadline?

Jim is right. Anyone can send the FCC comments, messages,
etc at anytime. The sending or submission of a comment outside
the comment period is NOT a violation of the law. The only
violation of law that could be in play then is IF and only IF the
FCC accepted and integrated the comment into the FCC
proceedings...BUT, even then I suspect if anyone complained
that the courts would take a less than hard-line stand regarding
post deadline comments.

Missing the deadline simply means FCC isn't required to consider
the comment.

it means the FCC SHOULD not and I think is legaly barred form
considering it

That's not the same as breaking a law.

Of course the FCC could read a post deadline comment and
consider it in their braod internal review process and never
make reference to it in a follow-up R&O. Who outside
the FCC would even know?

the result was ripping the guts out of the ARS by killing the HS
clubs and making it rough to start one merely shows how
out of touch the ARRl was even then

How did incentive licensing affect highschool radio clubs?

I'm curious about that conclusion/result too.
