"Adding a specific emissions value to the regulations, and a value that
would be a compromise that most hams won't like at all..."
We already have specific emissions values, I just suggest lower.
"...doesn't require removal of the words "harmful interference"."
Right, a different issue, not related to emissions values already in place.
"In fact adding the specific emissions value to the regulations would
redefine those words and lock them in to that specific emissions limit
value."
No change in current regulations with specific emissions values (other
than lower potential RFI levels), and unrelated to harmful interference
enforcement.
"So having "Harmful Interference" vague enough to account for these
differences works better for the most hams than does setting a specific
emissions limit that will be a compromise between ARRL and the
commercial industry."
There was no suggestion to separate, or remove any of this, or even
compromise, just lower the potential of one other thing, with the hope
it would have a broader affect overall.
Imagine, RFI, being 1/10th, or 1/100th of what it currently is, with no
other changes, removals, or compromises. RFI, at a fraction of what it
is, that might be a good start...
"Why is it so hard to understand that the commercial industry will have
equal or possibly more influence in new regulation creation than the
smaller ARRL probably will?"
I don't believe for a moment that just one radio club would have an
adequate affect on the matter.
If we compare the relative size of the ARRL to the FCC and the entire
global industry, one which has few abilities, control, enforcement, or
incentive, another which doesn't even care, the ARRL (more specifically,
"1.5 staff in the ARRL Lab have managed to be the focal point and do all
the legwork for the cases that FCC does handles" per Eds April 5th post)
isn't a large influencing group, not even a few fussy individuals,
relatively speaking, I dare say, more of a vague memory, if anything at
all, that someone made a comment about something, before others do as
they always have, hence, my support of the suggestion of everyone else
with an interest or concern of the issue, being involved at some level
that matters, note, however, not in any counterproductive manner at all,
as suggested by Dave.
