Thank you, now we know truth. Guess I better stay clear of it till the
determination is officially posted...73, Alan
Earlier this morning, I called the FCC to confirm the "FCC: ROS LEGAL
IN USA" assertion made in
<http://rosmodem.wordpress.com/ <http://rosmodem.wordpress.com/>>
I asked for confirmation that the FCC had deemed ROS legal for use on
HF by US amateurs. When asked for a case number, I provided the case
number given on the above web page -- but was informed that this case
number refers to a "password reset" request, not ROS. I asked if I
could speak with agent 3820, and was immediately connected; her name
is Dawn. I gave Dawn the above URL, and read her the salient
paragraph. She said that the information about ROS legality posted on
the above web site was not accurate. Dawn went on to say that FCC
staff members were working on this issue, and asked me to not make
public comments until further progress had been made. She offered to
call me at that time.
Dawn called me a few minutes ago, and stated that FCC staff consider
the information on the above web page to be out of context and
misleading. She further stated that FCC staff is working with the ARRL
on this issue, and that the outcome will be publicized by the ARRL.
Dawn expects this to happen soon; there is nothing related to ROS
posted on <http://www.arrl.org/ <http://www.arrl.org/>> as of a few
minutes ago.
Note that all telephone conversations with FCC personnel are recorded.
