[Amps] Time for New Power Meter

[Fuqua, Bill L]

    Well there is a difference between ordinary individuals and amateur radio operators.
When you are licensed you have agreed to abide by the rules set by the FCC and if you 
don't the license can be revoked or suspended or fined. We are expected, while
operating as amateur radio operators, to a higher standard of behavior than others. 
   We identify ourselves, don't encrypt our messages, don't use profanity, and abide by
the rules. There are other unwritten rules that are good to stick to, that is to avoid topics
that offend others, religion, and politics. Those are just a matter of politeness and getting
along with others.

REPLY:

A bit off topic, but I have always wondered why the FCC thinks it has
the power to censor profanity. The Constitution guarantees free speech
and the Supreme Court has ruled profanity is protected speech. So what
gives, FCC?

Don't get me wrong - I do not like profanity but I also do not like
over-reach by the government.
