Actually Danny, according to Part 97.1 the government already gave us the Ham Bands and their primary use is to be used for Emergency Communications We sometimes forget that the "Hobby" use is a secondary use of the bandsas no where in part 97 does it say the Amateur Service is a hobby. __Howard S.

Re: [digitalradio] ARRLWeb: Army MARS Implementing Winlink 2000 with Airmail Network
No- as long as it is NOT commercial, NOT encrypted, NOT automatic to the point of operating without an operator at both ends (or has the proper software that recognizes when a frequency is in use or not), and does NOT intefere with other ongoing communications. Why not the hambands? Simply so that it CAN be use for all the above without intefering with amateur communications. Yes - our bands should be available for emergency use too, when required and necessary, but I do NOT want to see them under attack from such traffic (such as constant testing) when not necessary. Giving us frequencies adjacent to the ham allocations would allow us to use our present equipment and our present antennas, and encourage large numbers of amateurs to be involved, without having to spend additional monies in preparation of emergencies that most of us will never be involved with, except for practice. - Original Message - From: John Becker To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 12:53 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] ARRLWeb: Army MARS Implementing Winlink 2000 with Airmail Network Everything in blue.And just why do you think it should be used outside of the ham bands?

Re[2]: [digitalradio] ARRLWeb: Army MARS Implementing Winlink 2000 with Airmail Network
Saludos Dr., I strongly disagree with your point. Read the definition of the 97.3.(a).(4). Nowhere is Emergency Communications mentioned. 97.3 (4)Amateur service. A radiocommunication service for the purpose of self training, intercommunication and technical investigations carried out by amateurs, that is, duly authorized persons interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest. On the basis and purpose part, just previous to this part, it states that it intends to recognize and enhance the value of the amateur service to the public as a voluntary non commercial communications service, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications. Read VERY CAREFULLY and do not misinterpret the regulations. Amateur radio is a hobby. However, if we fear that it is going to disappear as such a hobby unless we turn into en emergency service, and we are willing to accept that, so be it. For me, when this becomes and emergency service, that will be the end.

Re: [digitalradio] Improving the Service/Hobby/Art (x: Army MARS Implementing Winlink 2000)
Yes, it IS a hobby. The emergency proviso has been an excellent excuse for us to continue to keep the bands, and indeed expand them from time to time. but the majority of hams never are involved one iota in emergency communications. The original hams were strictly playing with the CW mode and learning how to get a signal across town. They gave themselves their own callsigns and it was only later AFTER they had proven the use of radio that the government got involved, and even later when the governments started assigning bands of frequencies to us, as well as other users. Everything is a personal choice, and when that goes, so do I. The amateurs themselves, I understand, are the ones that wrote the first rules and regulations and the ARRL adopted much of the wording concerning the advancement of technical and operational aspects of radio. The government (FCC- now) just glommed on to them. - Original Message - From: expeditionradio [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 9:15 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Improving the Service/Hobby/Art (x: Army MARS Implementing Winlink 2000) Flavio Padovani wrote Read VERY CAREFULLY and do not misinterpret the regulations.

I hope you will reconsider ending it all over such a trivial issue... In USA, we hams operate in the Amateur Radio Service under FCC rules. The ARS rules are silent on the issue of hobby, but the ARS rules do include emergency operation in many paragraphs. Some might even go so far as to say that the ham radio hobby is a lifestyle. The fact that many hams participate in the ARS as a hobby is a personal choice... the hobby is only a choice people might make for themselves. But your perceived right to pursue your hobby is not the official reason for the ARS to exist in USA. Some very interesting parts of the rules are aspects of what the FCC calls the radio art, and it is pertinent for enthusiasts in digital communications: �97.1 (c) Encouragement and improvement of the amateur service through rules which provide for advancing skills in both the communications and technical phases of the art.

By definition, an activity undertaken by an amateur is a hobby. 73, Dave, AA6YQ Part 97 : Sec. 97.1 Basis and Purpose The rules and regulations in this part are designed to provide an amateur radio service having a fundamental purpose as expressed in the following principles: (a) Recognition and enhancement of the value of the amateur service to the public as a voluntary noncommercial communication service, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications. (b) Continuation and extension of the amateur's proven ability to contribute to the advancement of the radio art. (c) Encouragement and improvement of the amateur service through rules which provide for advancing skills in both the communication and technical phases of the art. (d) Expansion of the existing reservoir within the amateur radio service of trained operators, technicians, and electronics experts.

Everything is a personal choice, and when that goes, so do I. I'm sorry I had to be the bearer of bad news, Danny. It may be a shock, but there really isn't any need for ultimatums. Don't worry, we remain free to pursue amateur radio as our personal choice of hobby. But don't look for the FCC rules to enshrine it. If you wish the Amateur Radio Service to be changed into the Amateur Radio Hobby, petition the FCC or lobby Congress to change the rules. But before you start working on that, consider this: What would you give up to change it? As a just a hobby, Amateur Radio would not require licensing. In fact, it would be on the same level as woodworking or stamp collecting. They are both wonderful hobbies. But as simply the Amateur Radio Hobby, there would no longer be a bonafide charter for us to pursue new digital signal technology, deliver emergency communications, or advance the art... so the government would be justified to auction off most of our spectrum for the public benefit and better use of the public airwaves. Billions of dollars of better use. No thank you. I'm content with the Amateur Radio Service, I think hams and the rest of society have been well-served by the service.
