Hey guys, we’ve gone down this road umpteen gazillion times in the past little while.

Yes, there is uneven application of the rules. Yes, there are some unlicensed broadcasters that are not complying with Part 15 rules. End of story.

One of the reasons that I believe that the ALPB is so important, is that it is bringing together Part 15 (and whatever it is called in other countries) broadcasters together, to work together as a group – we’re not excluding licensed, low power broadcasters either. One of the prerequisites of joining is agreeing with the Charter, and in the Charter it states that every member will attempt to adhere to the laws of their country in broadcasting.

As time goes on, and the group grows, its stature in the broadcasting community will grow. Individually, it would be difficult for a station to have any impact on the lay of the land or rule enforcement, but collectively, there’s at least a chance that our voices will be heard.

So rather than railing on about the sad state of licensed broadcasting, or the unlicensed broadcasters who obviously don’t adhere to the rules (knowingly or otherwise, sometimes I wonder if the former isn’t more prevalant with some of the questions asked here on this Forum), wouldn’t it make more sense to direct that effort into actually doing something? And then let the rule enforcement fall where it may, so to speak.
