N5FDL Recommends Squarespace
Powered by Squarespace

A note about why I recommended SquareSpace: I was editing this blog on Easter morning and submitted a support request. I had a response within an hour—and it wasn’t a major emergency. How could I not recommend these folks?

Comments Changed

By popular request, I have changed the permission necessary for commenting on items in this blog. Now, anyone can comment but anonymous comments must be approved by a moderator before they go live.

What Happens Now?

When a Rule Making Petition is filed with the FCC (as ours has been), the Commission first decides whether it has merit and is worth pursuing.

If the Commission decides the issue merits attention, it assigns an RM number to the petition. It also establishes periods of time when comments and reply comments may be filed.

After that the FCC begins actual consideration of the issue, in light of the comments received. The whole process will certainly take months and may take years.

At present, we are awaiting an RM number.

We may start asking supporters to contact the FCC and ask elected officials to contact the FCC in support of getting the number issued.

If you are signed up to receive updates from this site or our e-mail blasts you will be the first to know when we need supporters to take action.

We are fortunate that Tom, N5GAR, has previous experience sheparding a Petition to successful rulemaking and is guiding our effort.

You can find my comments on technology and small business every weekday on PC World’s Techinciter blog. You can subscribe by RSS, and most posts end up on my Facebook page and are tweeted to Twitter users.

 

Ham Radio Search

This is a custom Google search that I have created—it looks to ARRL.ORG, eHAM.NET, QRZ.COM, and my sites (at present). Makes finding quality content much easier.
