There are a lot of "ifs" and "buts" in Tommy's reasoning. The FCC is
the one which unilaterally did away with the log requirements.

And just what is "adequately explained" mean?

If the request was concerning my own operations, I would comply, but
in every other case the answer would be no. And as far as the FCC now
trying to do some regulation, why don't they start by cleaning up 10
meters. Just how hard can it be to track down a taxi
company in NYC using 10 to run its business.

No matter what you say of it, the ARRL is guilty of a serious error in
judgement. If the FCC wanted the logs, let them have a court issue a
order.
