It's

Warr

wouldn't

this

be

in

the public

"interest,

con-

venience

and necessity

"?

Holding

The

Bag.

Yet

the

FCC,

staffed

by political

appointees

and

public

servants,

insists

that

it

is

acting

in

the

best

interests

of the

American

public.

And

despite

the

abject

poverty

under

which

the

FCC

must

exist,

when

the

COMSAT

communications

satellite

arrived

on the

scene

an Act

of

Con-

gress was

rushed

through

to

establish

a new

FCC

division

just

to handle

the

single

satel-

lite.

(They

probably

haven't

been

too

busy

in

the

new

division

since

the

rates

are so

high

that

even

the

TV

networks

don't

use

it

very

often.)

In

the

meantime,

the

American

public

has

watched

the

FCC

give

token

interest

to

the

rigged

quiz

shows

which

duped

190 -million

citizens

(threats

to

put

a

freeze

on

broadcast

station

licenses

were

not

heard).

Users of

essential

communications

services

are

crowd-

ing

each

other

off

the

air

due

to lack

of

sufficient

channels,

yet

the

FCC

insists

on

reserving

470

MHz worth

of

UHF -TV

space

for

a mere

250

broadcasters.

And

on

the

marine

bands,

casual

listening

discloses

op-

ulent

yachtsmen

broadcasting

language

so

salty

it would

bring

a blush

to

the

face

of

even

the crustiest

old

navy

Chief.

Are

these

problems

of

a lesser

nature

than

those

facing

CB or

Ham

radio?

Are

the

broadcasters

truly

the

"darlings"

of

the FCC

(as

has been

suggested

for

years)

?

Or is

it

that

the

FCC

is

so understaffed

that

they

just

haven't

seen

these

problems

or

so

under

-

financed

that

they

can't

afford

to

do

any-

thing

about

them?

Regardless

of

the

answer,

one

gets the

im-

pression

that

the

FCC

might

perhaps

have

had

a

master

plan

right

along which

would

explain

some

of its

activities.

A hint

of

this

was

perhaps

dropped

when

FCC

Commis-

sioner

Kenneth

A.

Cox

recently

stated

that

if

all other

alternatives

fail

to

sufficiently

re-

lieve

the

present

congestion,

additional

fre-

quencies

would

have

to

be

given

to

needy

services.

This,

he

said,

would

be

accom-

plished

by

a complete

reorganization

of the

radio

spectrum

(Cox

likened

it to "unscram-

bling

an

egg ").

Obviously,

new

frequencies

can't

be

created

by

a wave

of

the FCC's

magic

wand.

They would

necessarily

have

to

be

taken

away

from

"non-

essential"

radio

service.

It's

Wad

Yes,

it

really

is a

war,

still

a

cold

one

at this

point

but warming

up

by

the

minute!

Hams

are

thoroughly

disgusted

at being

made

fools

of

by

the

ARRL,

and

even more

annoyed

with

the

FCC

which

(for

reasons

unknown

to

the

operators)

is

still

fumbling

with

the

Incentive

Licensing

scheme.

The

ARRL

is wobbling

around

on

a

shaky

pair

of

legs.

Ham

and

CB

manufac-

turers

are wondering

where

they

go

from

here,

and

CB

operators

are

still trying

to

fig-

ure

out

the

justice

in

their

paying

$8

for

a

CB license

only

to

be

divested

of

their

rights

to

freedom

of

speech

and

the

pursuit

of

happiness.

One

guess

is

as good

as

another

as

to

where

the

next

battle

will

be

fought.

If

the

FCC

would

ever

attempt

to

shut

down

these

services,

it

would

undoubtedly

be

faced

with

the specter

of three

million

bootleg

operators

jamming

the

reallocated

frequencies.

And

could

the

rumor

be

true

that

three

million

CBers

and

Hams

intend

marching

on Wash-

ington,

right

up

to

the

FCC's

Ham /CB

office

(above

a

supermarket,

by

the way)

sing
