More Power, the real rule

[W8JITom at aol.com]

97.313a "An amateur station must use the minimum transmitter power necessary
to carry out the desired communications."

Within the FCC's jurisdiction, if you've EVER used more power than necessary
to communicate with someone else, you've broken section "a" of the power
rules.

Section "a", top of the list, first one! Not section "b" or "c".

Anyone following all rules to the letter, go ahead and tell us what you don't
like about others. You are the ONLY ones that have truly earned the right to
complain.

The rest of us are a bunch of scofflaws. After all, if we break one law, we
must break many more. Such logic!

Possibly the joint and the extra power is a unique case worthy of
consideration....hi hi

Howdy Alex,
The program files are only available from the CT BBS, at 508-460-8877. I
believe there may be some files available at the ve7tcp home page.....others
may have sources for you to check so I will copy this to the reflector.
