Information Bulletins
Ok, this is for those ****ing whinny little amateur radio operators who have a ****ing hard time reading the rules and regulations and are to busy breastfeeding off of there mama's tit. I know due to their ****ing inbreeding that they don't have the mental capacity to read anyway, and for ****ing morons who are going to post off the subject material don't waste my ****ing time, I will delete that **** from my blog. I know you all are my "FANS" but I'm fighting a war here against assholes who is want to suppress my right to free speech. So for you ****ing retarded C.B. operators (and you know who you are) take that dildo out of each other's ass and listen up. I know those fat *******s on rec.radio.amateur.policy don't have a clue when it comes to rules and regulations so let me spell it out for you. An information bulletin is "A message directed only to amateur radio operators consisting solely of subject matter of direct interest to the amateur service." (47 U.S.C. 97.3(a)(26) The FCC has even gone farther on their website stating "The control operator of the station transmitting an information bulletin is responsible for determining that the subject matter is of direct interest to the amateur service." (http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/ama...ations.html#s3). Unlike some amateur radio operators who believe that the receiving station, or even the amateur radio community as a whole can determine what the station transmits. An information bulletin and a broadcast are two different things. As stated above an information bulletin is "directed to amateur radio operators consisting solely of subject matter of direct interest to the amateur radio service". While a broadcast is "A transmission intended for reception by the general public either direct or relayed." (47 U.S.C. 97.3(a)(10). That's the difference one is attended for the reception of the general public while the other is aimed at a certain group (amateur radio operators) One of the things I hear from those little crybabies on rec.radio.amateur.policy is that an information bulletin has to be a "newscast" yet, no where in the FCC rules does it state that nor is there any ruling by the FCC that states that it has to be a newscast. As a matter of fact in a warning letter sent in 2004 to one K1MAN, who also transmits news and talk programming directed to the amateur radio service. The FCC informed Mr. Baxter K1MAN, that his transmissions were legal "It is the finding of this office that you are, with some exceptions, generally in compliance with the Commission's rules in the amateur service related to broadcasting and information bulletin, and we will explain as followed. Broadcasting is prohibited in the amateur radio service, with some exceptions. Section 97.3(a)(10) defines broadcasting as "transmissions intended for the reception by the general public, either direct or relayed." One-way transmissions are limited in the amateur service, but an exception is allowed in 97.111(b)(6) for "Transmissions necessary to disseminate information bulletins." Information bulletins are defined by Section 97.3(a)(26) as messages "directed only to amateur operators consisting solely of subject matter of direct interest to the amateur service." There is no specific time limit placed upon information bulletins by the Commission rules. A review of your programs at random times since March 3, 2003 indicates that your transmissions were directed to amateur radio operators, not to the general public, and that the individual bulletins were related to the amateur radio service. The only notable exception was the offering of a award for information leading to the identity of parties making threatening telephone calls to you" (letter to Glenn Baxter K1MAN from the Federal Communication Commission April 14, 2004) My information bulletins are directed to the amateur radio service and consist solely of subject matter of a direct interest to the amateur radio service. So those whinny little assholes on rec.radio.amateur.policy can bitch and whine all they want the fact is my station is legal. So K4YZ can cry little the big baby he is to who ever, the fact is they won't do anything about it. Todd Daugherty N9OGL The N9OGL Show "The Voice of Amateur Radio" |
