Seems to me that whenever the FCC is proposing rule changes there is a SIG (Special Interest Group) involved.... more than likely some group that wants to "take over" the limited resource the the electromagnetic spectrum in any way they can! Usually it will involve lawyers they hire to submit proposals and then the FCC will docket the proposed rule change with a preemptive "strike" by a question and answer period. Then base their decisions on the answers, this is followed by an appeal and most likely money or favoritism to congressmen, who in turn vote when no one is looking or listening and pass the vote under the table to those who pay the most! :sad:
As for banning the use of directional antennas to limit sky wave "incidentals", This is stupid as the omnidirectional antennas can work as well as beams of any design when there is any propagation!!!
As far as interference to television service, terrestrial TV is digital, almost immune to interference, cable or satellite are there and again almost free from interference. All ploys to make the SIGs case!
Some of the proposed rule changes would not be bad but not worth the other bothersome rules! :headbang FM is fine but not by it's self.... :thumbdown:
Question and answer times are useless, but give it a whorl! and remember that resistance to this is best done through your congressmen!

"resistance is futile" I do not believe in the Borg!
