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?

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.

Channeling Sue?

There isn't enough bandwidth in the spectrum to channel Sue. :rofl:

Careful, you'll get arrested for possession.

Oops, shot down again!

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.
