/////////////////////////////////////////// ARRL Complains to FCC: Illegal Marketing of Electronic Lighting Ballasts: Posted: 29 Dec 2015 06:57 AM PST http://www.eham.net/articles/35867 The ARRL has again complained to the FCC to allege illegal marketing of electronic RF lighting ballasts, operating under Part 18 of the Commission's rules, on the part of two major retailers. Letters went out this week to the FCC Enforcement Bureau and its Office of Engineering and Technology claiming Part 18 marketing regulations violations by Lowe's and by Walmart stores. At issue is the sale of non-consumer RF lighting ballasts to consumers who, in several instances, were told by store personnel that it was okay to install these in a residential setting. In addition, non-consumer and residential-class ballasts are intermixed in store displays with inadequate signage to direct consumers to the correct choice. Both letters asked the FCC to investigate and commence enforcement proceedings with respect to the two stores' marketing and retail sale of RF lighting devices in the US. /////////////////////////////////////////// Special Day On the Airwaves: Posted: 28 Dec 2015 05:08 PM PST http://www.eham.net/articles/35866 Christmas Day was extra-special for one Leigh-on-Sea family, who used radio signals to connect four generations together. Amateur Radio is a hobby that dates back over 100 years, and each radio experimenter has a unique "callsign". World-renowned radio amateur Gordon "Dicky" Bird was responsible for the design and development of a number of radio antennas from the 1950s onwards, and was a keen radio amateur sending signals around the world for many decades. Dick passed away in 2005, aged 86, but by way of commemoration, his old radio callsign of 'G4ZU' was revived with the permission of his family and the Government's radio regulator Ofcom. |
