[RFI] ARRL to FCC...

[David Cole]

Hi Charlie,

Is "Barbershop Advice" an actual legal term, and is there precedent for
it's use in the courts?  If so, could you supply a link please.  

I just do what the lawyer tells me to do to reduce risk as much as
possible...  The entire issue is not fun-- I increase my lawsuit risk,
while at the same time increasing the chances of getting shot by some
non legal farmer, all for my hobby, and I am not even breaking any laws,
or FCC rules to boot.  A very messy place, but I love ham radio as a
hobby and I am not going to give it up...

Thanks and 73's,
