After discussion with the Executive Committee and coordination with Joel and me, Chris Imlay has filed the attached petition for the modification or cancellation of an experimental license, WE2XRH, issued to Digital Aurora Radio Technologies (DART) of Alaska to operate high-power transmitters in, among other frequency ranges, 7.1-7.3 MHz.

The FCC staff who handled the experimental license application clearly didn’t know what they were doing, nor did the applicant, who not only can’t read a frequency allocation table but who also, on the license application, failed on two attempts (and in two different ways) to spell the name of the company that manufactures the transmitters. It did not seem constructive to say this in so many words in our filing, but I must admit to having privately characterized this particular emanation from Alaska as “moose poop.”

It is, at least, nicely timed to underscore our current spectrum defense fund drive.
