We deny the petition for reconsideration. We conclude that your current request, like your previous petitions, does not demonstrate that the current station identification rule is inadequate or that revising the station identification requirement as requested would address the concern that many amateur radio operators do not identify their station timely or at all.

We also note that, in response to your 2006 petition, commenters believed that the current station identification rule properly balances the burden of requiring the station to transmit its call sign with the convenience of those receiving the transmissions to determine the identity of the station making the transmissions

Man can't seem to take "no!" for an answer, can he?

Some people just need to be told with the aid of a big stick beating them about the head and neck to get the message to sink in.

He just wants the rules to jive with the way we apply them in our daily use.
(yah' I know- they could care less)
When almost every contest contact literally violates the way the ID rules are stated, there is a potential problem if some bureaucrat decides to eventually enforce them, for whatever reason-personal or otherwise.

I see his point, but like others, i think it's relative importance is minuscule at the moment.
But he is right, and there is value in having rules that everyone isn't violating as SOP.

You're making an "enforcement" joke, right???

Before the FCC would go to the trouble of enforcing the rules & regs, they'd just as soon shut it all down, much easier and cheaper for them.

If the man from Tennessee wants to channel a 6 station that hates her state and hates herself, who am I to stop him? I've known people in the past who would have been happy to have been born a hermaphrodite.

Channeling reality to those who refuse to see it OM!:lol:

The bottom line of the FCC is exactly the same as any other business, commercial users pay big license fees to the FCC while amateurs and CBers pay ZERO to the FCC.:yuck:

I'm sitting in my business office typing this and to my business income neither you or anything to do with amateur radio add to that income and I sure as hell wouldn't allow anything to do with amateur radio to take money from my business or personal interests.:lol:

So if that's "channeling Sue" then all I have to say is that Sue is a hell of a lot smarter than the Island barkeep.:neener:

Best answer on the net!
This brings to mind a George Carlin quip when taking about speeches given by single parents and possible answers the child could offer as retort.

At first I thought this was about Glen Baxter. I thought maybe he filed more felony affidavits.

More like a choice between #1 and #2 and in this case there is a choice #3.
