Hi Dale,
Far nicer---and it would surely drive the message home better than anything
else---would be if some critical government installation happened to be located
next to a suburban build-up, and having all its associated communications /
electronic handiwork / etc. being interfered with on a daily basis by the
imported electronic junk & gizmo do-dads that have run amuck in our
consumer-oriented "Wal-Marted" society...
Why should such "...garbage emissions" affect Ham radio alone...? The reality
of the current deplorably neglected situation would VERY swiftly come down upon
the collective heads of the FCC (and our own Industry Canada) if some idiot
addicted to watching Oprah on his / her plasma TV was to suddenly compromise
the activities of some federal branch of the public service...
But, as in all things these days, "...Money talks & B.S. walks"---and the
authorities that are empowered to protect us all have seemingly (and sadly)
elected to "walk" away from their mandate & responsibility...
