Hi Bill, I just want to make one observation regarding the Amateur Radio Service (ARS) from a strictly U.S. Amateur perspective as you to are U.S. based. That observation is with respect to FCC Part 97.1 below, in the order of priority listed, I pretty much think it sums it all up pretty well, don't you?
Now, anyone for some "Digital Radio" technical exchanges in the spirit of Part 97.1 and the similar basis and purpose for the Amateur Radio Service that bond Amateurs around the world? /s/ Steve, N2CKH ยง97.1 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 communications and technical phases of the art. (d) Expansion of the existing reservoir within the amateur radio service of trained operators, technicians, and electronics experts. (e) Continuation and extension of the amateur's unique ability to enhance international goodwill.
