JUL'92<br />
We the u:n.dersigMd u.s. <strong>Amateur</strong> <strong>Radio</strong> Operators, licensed by tht FCC to operate A.m.auur<br />
<strong>Radio</strong> sta.tioM, do htreby petition tht Commission for a redress of6rieuances as prouUUd. for in the<br />
First Anu!ndment to tht Constitution oftht United Staus.<br />
The FCC is clu1.rged by Congress with regulating the <strong>Amateur</strong> Ra.dio Service. and tht FCC Iuu<br />
formulated. a Nt ofregu.latioru for this Service in Part 97 oftht FCC., RuUs.<br />
Pai1 97.113(d) upreBBly prohibits • .•.~ne. indectnt or profane words, /.tuagutJge. or<br />
mea.n.ing.:.· Part 97.101(d) itates: ·No amateur operator,hall willfully or maliciously interfere with or<br />
C4UM interfere'l'U% to a.n.y radio communication or ,ignal. •<br />
Certain portions ofthe <strong>Amateur</strong> Spectra routinely .uffer from uiolation oftht,e ruks.<br />
Tht Supreme Court oftht United States Iuu rukd that in questioru ofob~nity and indecency,<br />
Community Standar'tU ,hall apply. We li.cen.sed <strong>Radio</strong> <strong>Amateur</strong>s are a community with tht ri6ht to<br />
formulate the sta.n.dardl a.cceptabk to us. As a community, we feel that obscenity, profa.n.ity, and<br />
malicious interferenct are repulsive to us and are therefore unacceptable offenses to our Community<br />
Standard.<br />
Violations ofthese regulations hintkr and impede future growth in tht Service. especioJly<br />
among young peopu. Continued fai,lure to enforce tMae rrgulatioM will serio.uly jeopardize tht basis<br />
and purpose ofthe <strong>Amateur</strong> Service as qpressed in Part 97.1 ofthe Buks.<br />
The FCC has not empowered <strong>Amateur</strong>s to impo,e kgall41lCtioru or penalties a.ga.inst violator,<br />
ofit, Rules. Only the FCC can enforce its regulations and thereby preserve our Community Sta.n.d.o.rt:lI.<br />
Thtrefore. we implore the Federal Communications Commission to reorder tht prioritie, oftla.oM<br />
resources assigned to the <strong>Amateur</strong> <strong>Radio</strong> Service and provide swilt. just, and compute enforcement of<br />
these Regulations.<br />
