I became a ham since 1989 and my Elmer back then was a crusty old 1x2 in his 80's. Of all the sage advice he gave me, here is the one that he emphasized the most.
Don't ever ask the FCC to rule on anything about ham radio. If you do poke that sleeping giant in the eye with a stick you will never like the answer that he gives you. On occasion over the many years I've seen that advice repeated many times in print. However in recent years that lesson seems to have gotten lost in the QRM. Just my .05 cents due to inflation. 73 & GUD DX, Thomas F.
