I never said that there was no value in the bulletins. I asked how many
people actually copied them.
I don't agree that any station should just be able to come up and take
over a frequency. That is a blatant violation of the rules. The ARRL is
not above any of us.
You missed the point of the 313 reference. There is no stipulations in
the rules that if I send out notice in a magazine that I am going to do
X on 14.313 or 14.300 or 18.100 I can without following the rules of my
license. The ARRL is no different. Why should they be allowed to do
but I can't? If this is the case then if I was a net I could easily
make the case to the FCC that you have allowed the ARRL to do it for 40
years so I am going to own XYZ frequencies. This is exactly what we
are going to see with PACTOR 4 and Winlink across our CW bands.
All Amateur stations need to follow ALL the rules.
