Enforcement is one key...

by

 

As much as I hate to admit it, enforcement is a critical part of the effort to clean up the bands. Already a lot of the activity on 75 meters is cleaning itself up. It's amazing how behavior changes when operators have the knowledge that there might be a tape recording out there...

It's a shame that it's necessary, but there are very few places I can think of in this day and age where self enforced standards and honor codes still work.

Here are some subjects for FCC license testing that might help a little bit long-term:

1) Good on-the-air manners.
2) Tactful, but firm ways of pointing out bad operating behavior to the offender.
3) The process for reporting habitual violators.

Any other suggestions?
