The thing here is usage of the airwaves is a priviledge and not a

and in stating that you just used the Consitution of the USA as toilet

it is just that simple

the govt officail to regulate radio would derive from the "Nessary and
proper clause" the ITU treaty under the supremacy clause and the rest
to US (or the staes how are then exclude from radio regulation by the
ITU treay)

The Govt had the power (and legal duty) to do code testing till 2003
when the treaty changed

the FCC has conceeded its intent we are waiting on them to push the
paper
