Jim, based on that (which I fully believe), our only recourse is to START
EMANDING CLEANER TRANSMITTERS.
Just as we focused on DR3 in the past, we need to focus on cleaner transmit
MD in the future.
I said earlier that none are as clean as the old KWM-2. That was a major
nderstatement.
 need to add that several of the newer models are very FILTHY.
he picture we are accustomed to with each successive odd harmic's
istortion falling rapidly off is simply not applicable to many of today's
ransmitters.  It is outrageous that the manufacturers do not note this and
ix it themselves.
We need to be able to post some pictures of this stuff so that everyone will
ealize just how serious the problem is.

any of us are old enough to remember when the FCC had field offices,
onitoring stations, and field engineers who actually came out and inspected
tations.  Broadcasters were inspected on a routine basis, and hams were
nspected when monitoring or complaints caused FCC engineers to suspect
here might be a violation.
All that changed with deregulation and "small government" that "got the
overnment off our backs."  There are far fewer engineers paying any
ttention at all to these issues, and all the Commissioners are lawyers.
echnical education?  If you doubt any of this, read their biographies.
The FCC CANNOT do any enforcement -- it has no money to do it, thanks to
small government." Now, SOME of that field inspection was "busy work," 
ut much of it was not.  There are, for example, AM broadcast stations
eriously violating the terms of their licenses by running omnidirectional
ntennas when the license requires a directional antenna, and/or running
ore power than their license permits, and the ham bands are full of RF
rash generated by consumer equipment that violates FCC Rules, even Rules
eakened by lobbyists for the spectrum polluters.
Clean equipment, clean spectrum, compliance with FCC Rules is simply not a
riority.  FCC priorities are focused on the internet, telecommunications,
elephony, commercial uses of the spectrum, and cow-towing to so-called
hristians who care more about wardrobe malfunctions than whether poor
hildren have food to eat.
