Not only is the RF >spectrum controlled from the federal level, it is controlled under >international agreement. In addition, the US has this "Communications Act of 1934" IIRC. IIRC, this one established the FCC and gave it power to regulate radio transmissions. I don't seem to recall exceptions for transmissions that have good expectation of not being detected across state lines. This does sound like a good case to throw $$$$$$ into up to SCOTUS, but there is the additional burden of diastinguishing from the majority of detected-only-intrastate non-sanctioned radio transmissions being truly noise - as in mostly being considered noise by over 99.9% of Americans regardless of whether and how they agree with Rush Limbaugh. I am not talking about "pirate"/rogue radio stations so much as inadequately designed products that have RF oscillators or sparking contacts. - Don Klipstein (don(a)misty.com) |
