> Your posts convince me I am right by urging us to move the conversation

> That is easier and more sensible.

> Your posts explain your opinion about what FCC rules mean. I appreciate

> To clarify, W5OV did say "We consulted with the FCC on this specific

> Matt, thank you again for weighing in.
