[RFI] ARRL to FCC...

[Hare, Ed W1RFI]

The FCC has already outsourced certification to the TCBs, Peter.  Can you elaborate a bit more on what additional outsourcing you think is possible?

Deregulation is a fine thing, isn't it?  Were the FCC inclined, and it's not, they'd outsource any type of certification (as Ed described) to private vendors anyway.  And we'd find that north of 95%, maybe 99%, of products meet FCC rules.

You can argue that FCC rules are too lax, but again, they aren't about to change them because the sense of their bosses, the Congress, is not to bother with any of that lest it harm shareholders or other owners.

Unless someone dies, in which case it's The Most Important Thing Ever and Why Weren't You Bureaucrats Doing Your Jobs?

Buy lots of ferrite.  Distribute it to your neighbors.
