<That's not a screwdriver, it's a torque-inducing, shear-initiator!>

In case you hadn't noticed, the FCC (you know, those guys) removed
the UHF 83 channel rule for TV makers.  The last channel you are supposed
to put on the dial is UHF 69 now.  The UHF 69-83... range now contains
cellular phone traffic.

If the legislation you speak of goes into effect, you will be breaking
the law if you punch in a channel number above UHF 69 on your TV set,
as that is no longer a civilian band.   Next thing twe know they will
require us to buy new tuners that stop at UHF 69!

For those of us in the border states, there are a few Mexican stations
that are above UHF 69.  I was visiting friends in south Texas and
they were watching the bullfights on Mexican TV, some station right
around UHF 80.  (ASPCA Note:  I do not watch bullfights or bet on them.)



Remember when Wayne Green wanted to turn the UHF band above 40 over
to the Hammies?  Now we go the other way!  (I think the Hammies would
make better use of it.)

"Now children, do not play around or stand near the power pole, or you
 might inductively receive cable signals and have to go to jail under
 Texas law."

<The above opinions are those of me and possibly my employer.  I know
 they are fighting for the constitutional right for citizens to carry
 and bear frequency scanners, as well as their right to sell them.>
