The shocking

truth

about

the

bitter

battles

that

may

determine

the future

of

every Ham

and

CB operator

in the

United

States

"It's

wart"

The words

of

a militant pro-

fessional protest

leader?

Hardly.

Fact is,

they

were

grumbled

only

recently

by

a fellow

radio

operator -a

normally quiet

and book -

wormish

chap

who

probably

thinks

twice

before

he swats

a

fly. But

this

time he

had

good

reason to

be

infuriated.

And his senti-

ments

are typical

of

those

being muttered

in

radio

circles throughout

the

country.

Several

factors

precipitated

his

declara-

tion: first,

the seemingly

hostile

attitude to-

wards

Hams

and CBers

by

the Federal

Communications

Commission;

second, the

strained relations

between

the American

Ra-

dio

Relay

League

and Hams;

third,

the grow-

ing realization

among operators

that they

might well

have

to fight to

defend their op-

erating rights

and privileges!

The battle

lines

are most definitely

drawn;

wits

are being sharpened

right

this minute!

But what

are the issues? What

is at stake,

and

what

brought

on

this unusual battle

roy-

al? Many

of the facts have

never

been

re-

vealed

-until now,

that is.

Down

The River.

It

is

believed

by some

that the

Hani radio

situation began

at a

46

private

meeting

in New

York between

the

FCC

and

the executives of

the ARRL

and

QST (the ARRL's

official

publication). With

a

major

international

radio

frequency

allo-

cation conference

looming

on the horizon,

the FCC

regretfully

reported

that some

of

the new

African

nations were

complaining

about

the

lack

of

radio frequencies

for

their

use;

possibly

they

would

try to steal

the Ham

frequencies.

If

such

a

thing

actually

came to

pass, Hams

throughout

the world

would

blame

the FCC

because it

permits

U.S. citi-

zens

to

get

Ham

licenses

with

a

minimum

of

red

tape,

exams, and waiting

time. As

a re-

sult

the U.S. has

amassed

a tremendous

num-

ber

of Hams per

capita

-many of

them

rotten operators

who have

earned

(for

American

Hams in general)

an internation-

al reputation

as

obnoxious

loudmouths

run-

ning

far more

power than is necessary.

The FCC was

on

a spot

and felt

that

something

would

have

to be done

to show

the

rest

of

the

world

that

U.S. Hams weren't

so

bad as to

cause the loss

of

Ham

radio

frequencies.

The ARRL was

quick

to

accept

the challenge of

coming up with

some

sort

of
