Doesn't that fall in the order.... "Give them a inch and they take a
mile"?
We have a hard enough time keeping non-licensed HAMS off the radio. The
only difference is we can ignore those who wish to transmit... though its
hard to ignore a ADvertisement that is repeated and such... if we allowed
(like we have a say in this) this Swatch thing to happen the SAT section
would be filled with these causing intermod and interfering with us try
to chase other sats. and I thought we were primamry on the 144-148
band... I think we take secondary on the 900MHz.... atleast I do.. if I
hear something up there.. I move to keep from interfering.
Though this is just my rambling...and not all here might be a fact...
