Banning, excluding, or separating that which you do not like,
understand or approve is bigotry - that is the definition:
"strongly favoring one's own group, ... and intolerant of
those who differ."
That the bigotry is sanctioned by "a vote taken at the Dayton
RTTY Forum a few years ago" is no different than legislation
passed by general elections in many states, counties and cities
for many years ... or the rules of various homeowners associations
that prevented selling or renting properties in the community to
those who were different. This is still absolutely wrong; it
benefits one group and is intolerant of those who are different.
SOmR is strictly within all the rules of "single operator, single
transmitter" class - all functions are performed by one operator
and only one signal transmitted at a time. To single out SOmR is
no different than to single out those who have directional
antennas (yagis, quads, log periodics, etc.), a tower taller
than 50 feet, or more than one tower.
