Re: FCC Regulation (fwd)
This has got to be a hoax, right? The airwaves/ham radio license model
really doesn't work in this area! I'd think it was pretty funny, if I
didn't have niggling supicion that it might be possible for a gummint
mind to think it could work. 5Mhz speed limit? Nominal charge for
slowdown crystals? !!!
