QST, February 1989, page 9 =
It is reasonable to assume that the same standard applies to us. Section
97.119 as presently written prohibits the transmission of communications
containing obscene, indecent, or profane words, language, or meaning, so no
new rule is necessary, it is simply a question of the extent to which the
Commission will enforce the existing one.
No doubt there will be court tests of the new broadcasting rule. The FCC had
been seeking to avoid a First Amendment confrontation, what Congress has told
the Commission, in effect, is to abandon caution and to enforce its standards
across the board.
We can only hope tha FCC will be as responsive to Congressional will on
another matter, 220 MHz. = David Sumner, K1ZZ +
