I’d rather not have the ham bands reduced to more of the same.
- charcircuit 3y agoWhy are ads lumped in? Typically they are only a fraction of the content they are sponsoring and they provide a service to consumers by connecting them to businesses they may find value in. Nothing stops spammers from spamming on HAM right now and it's 1 to many which makes it more effective.
- Johnythree 3y ago> Nothing stops spammers from spamming on HAM right now Except the existing regulations, which is why spamming is relatively rare on Amateur radio. Occasional infringement does occur, but it is relatively easy to track down and deal with. And of course this is is the whole point of this thread.
- charcircuit 3y agoThe existing regulations would still exist if encryption was allowed. Spammers still are incentivized to not encrypt their spam to maximize the number of listeners that exist.
