FCC Rejects Maryland Ham's Plan for Amending Message Forwarding System Rule
Posted: 08 Nov 2012 06:37 AM PST
http://www.eham.net/articles/29307
On Monday, November 5, the FCC issued a letter dismissing a Petition
for Rulemaking filed in February 2012 by Rolan Clark, W3FDK, of
Adamstown, Maryland. In his Petition, Clark had asked the FCC to amend
Section 97.219, specifying that control operators of the first
forwarding station in a message forwarding system of stations should
not be obligated to authenticate the identity of a station from which
the message forwarding system accepts messages, and that the first
forwarding station should not accept accountability for any violative
content of the messages put into the system.

ARRL Says 'Thank You' to Veterans:

http://www.eham.net/articles/29300
On Sunday, November 11, here in the US and abroad, we will celebrate
Veterans Day, also called Remembrance Day or Armistice Day. Originally
a holiday that marked the end of World War I -- the "War to End All
Wars" -- this day has been set aside to honor all who have served their
country. It was on November 11, 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day
of the 11th month, that Germany signed the Armistice, formally ending
the hostilities that had been ongoing since 1914.

http://www.eham.net/articles/29299
If the US Postal Service gets its
way, it will no longer sell International Reply Coupons (IRCs) after
January 27, 2013. According to the October 23 edition of the Federal
Register, there is not sufficient demand for the USPS to continue offering
IRCs
to customers; however, per the Universal Postal Union regulations, the USPS
must continue to
exchange and redeem IRCs that have been purchased in foreign countries
and presented at USPS facilities.
