BTW, I disagree with (apparently) most folks here in
that I believe some
bandwidth limits are needed. Unfortunately, the world has changed and we
don't live in a Normal Rockwell painting anymore.
Since it takes such an insanely long time to get the Commission to
change rules, I tend to agree. I can see the concern on HF, but I
think above 50 MHz you are just fooling yourself. I mean image is
permitted on 2 meters, so that scenario of a really wide signal on the
band that someone else posted could already happen. And really the
only reason I say I am okay with a bandwidth limit on HF is because I
feel without agreeing to that the ham community is just going to
argue about this for the next 25 years.
I listened to the recording of Imlay that someone else
posted. His
solution: hams need to work together to avoid interference. That's
ignorant (or, at best, naïve). It doesn't answer the question: and what do
you do when someone refuses to abide by the rules.
Do you have a link to this? I'd be interested. Since there is so
little enforcement action now a days, I am not sure the question is
something that I really even concern myself with. You just said Laura
Smith refused to get involved in your local example.
