Here, as in the US I'm sure, it all comes down to money. The resources aren't there to enforce the rules, and hams are a small minority group with no political clout. With all the public service cuts it can only get worse. Companies are importing goods from China that are actually dangerous, with fake CE marks (there was a news item about it this morning.) Using the law to force the authorities to enforce compliance is impossible because of high legal fees. The RSGB wanted to mount a legal challenge to Ofcom's failure to act on the problem of PLT devices and was informed it would cost £200,000 just to get started, about 10 times the amount they'd managed to raise by appeal. ----- Julian, G4ILO.
