Thomas Jefferson and other "founding fathers" were very serious when they
warned the new nation to take making treaties very seriously.

That didn't seem to stop the USA going its own way earlier this year,
contrary to the wishes of the UN.

Indeed and lobbying are often link to financial interests. Noone broadcaster
(and still less with the future DRM, the digital AM) will never accept that
its spectrum be reduced but the one of hams could be...

There is maybe one way to fight against a potential reduction of our bands
or increasing of the noise level.
A good way to make the pressure on ITU in order that they protect our
rights, IMHO, should be to request the help of some famous people. There are
so many celebrities whose voice carries around the world and who are
licensed hams (statemen, royalties, CEO of telecomm and Internet companies,
TV producers, Gen. of US forces and scientists Nobel prices) that if ITU
could have their support, the conclusions of their future report could
change a lot...

All these hams want that our bands be preserved but there are also involved
in the use of the spectrum. They could arg in our side.
See some names on : http://www.astrosurf.com/lombry/qsl-rfi-bpl.htm (first
half).

But maybe that I dream alive

He was taken for a ride by the US President and his cronies. He will

hard to say, yet... just not found does not exist...

What immininent threat?

probably wasn't one.

What nuclear program?

Actually, he was trying as hard as he could to develop one... If
someone gave him a few nukes, I don't see him turning them down....
He'd love to use them on his enemies... and if nothing else, he'd use
them to gain "respect".



9/11 connection...

What 9/11 connection?

Other than he supported terrorism (that's not the specifics of 9/11),
probably nothing.

Yes, probably.

I think that's a definitely.

I'm not sure who was taking whom for a ride... I think that they

Hi,

Do you remember the problem caused by broadcasting tests via the power
line?
A lot of radio amateur have to support the RFI causes by these tests
everywhere in Europe.
All hope is not lost.
ITU officially recognized this was unacceptable...

The problem in the States is that the ITU does not pay PAC bribes to
Congress for overlooking the obvious, and political hack FCC commissioners
have no concept of the technology they are supposed to be regulating. But,
what do expect out of a group of lawyers who were hired based on what they
could do to bring home the bacon to Congress from rich special interest
groups? But who knows, maybe a bunch of US hams buying 10 KW linear
amplfiers will help the economy out and return Congress to a balanced
budget
for one more blue-moon occasion? Yeah, sure - that's it, BPL will save the
U.S. economy.

So here's a question: How many members of the US Congress and Senate are
hams? What are their names, phone numbers, etc?

What is the problem here? _REAL_ Radio Hams work with
signals that are deep in the noise all the time. There might be
a concern here by CBers who want S9 BBC quality, but
not for Radio Hams!
