    These actions by the FCC remind me of prosecutors getting Capone on tax evasion although he was apparently guilty of a shit-ton of way more serious crimes. I have no problem with using what ever laws are available to smack down some of these people. However, it does make me wonder why manufacturers don't make more of an effort to have cw IDers on HF rigs, and aftermarket addons aren't more prevalent. It's an easy thing to miss an ID interval from time to time. Personally, I can't hold my side of a QSO for more than a couple of minutes, much less ten. Everyone knows I'm a man of few words. Besides, I most usually ID before and after each xmission.

    One of what?

    I never had a problem with ID, at the end of every transmission (no old buzzard stuff) I always sent (callsign) this is KB2VXA. What I DID have a problem with was the "for ID" crowd, but I just bit my tongue and let them act the fool. Anyway, a certain unnamed local ham on 2M simplex rattling on with transmissions that would put an old buzzard to sleep never got slapped or melted his final. I guess the FCC doesn't monitor VHF CB, with a KW into a 22el H stack up 90ft I'm pretty sure he's heard in Mary Land. (;->)

    ID? We're supposed to ID? Shit, now they tell me...

    By the way, I think the mods should reopen that W1IT thread so we can make fun of him there.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
