It seems to me that a lot of people posting on this subject are making assumptions -- because they have to given the paucity of reliable and/or verifiable public info.
I don't believe that anyone has, so far, based on what has been posted, gone to the FCC painting themselves as a DX'er. Glenn has some other hats to wear, in two cases the people going to the FCC were broadcasters. Second, there is no evidence yet shown that the FCC had any prior knowledge of what was to take place until they had complaints - one of which may have been from KDKA. Similarly, how is it better or worse for one person to presume illegal activity based on clear and obvious willful interference and no identification as versus another person to presume that everything is legal based solely on one rather fragmented post claiming that was so. I agree that the hobby already has a PR problem of long standing, which will likely never be erased, and that adding to it is a bad thing -- but I'm not convinced that has really happened. I also agree that the airwaves are public and that there was sufficient indication of potential illegal activity for some to feel obligated to report it. But right now, there's a great deal of supposition and not a whole lot of fact.
