Cousin Charlie is a very long-term engineer/manager/spectrum professional who has spent several decades on the Commission's staff and he is looking over my shoulder as I write this. So I'll let him speak for himself: " Your statement confirmed my prior charge that the folks at OET will give anyone a license to do anything that they want whether it is good spectrum engineering or not. I feel sorry that you, as an honest "need-er" of spectrum, gets put in the middle of an ongoing dispute. They have lately gone too far, and may yet get their comeuppance." "Consider yourself fortunate that you are profiting from others' foolishness." Believe me, John, the tales that Charlie tells can raise the hairs on your neck. Sometimes I'm glad that I'm just a plain ol' street cop. -=Ploni=- -- Via apple!mailcom, Fido 1:204/444
