The day will soon come when USER SELECTABLE direct sequence spread spectrum
hopping sequences are available to all. If we go beyond that to Steinbrecher's
"adaptive" very wide band approach, frequency coordination and spectrum
allocation problems are no longer a concern. Couple this with truly
secure digital encryption (NOT Bill Clintons Clipper Crapola) and you
have what the airwave were meant to be: totally free and secure communication
for anyone who wants to use them. Such and idea really pisses off
Big Brother. The government alone will be the limiting factor.
BTW, we no longer need amateur radio anymore either.
73, roger roger, QRT, over and out!

Subject : Re: [News] FCC Gets New Weapon
If the dealers have to be responsible for what they sell who,
then does that mean Circuit City can't sell me parts that I can use to
build a device that breaks the law? The line where such responsibility
are seems quite arbitrary. Especially when one considers how easy it is to
build something like a spark gap. Should we ban those parts from
sale:-)?
