The FCC must continue to regulate and to enforce its regulation for the
mutual benefit of ALL users. This has nothing to do with profit but
with promoting the general welfare.

The government may not benefit from ALL hobbies. Therefore it need not
regulate collectors of Barbie dolls and empty beer cans.

Ham Radio does not depend on taxes or governmernt expendatures. Except
for vanity calls our government has decided that Hams should not be
charged FCC fees. This is because they have recognized that Ham Radio
is a potential asset to the USA and is non-profit.
The primary purpose of our government is neither to make a profit nor
to have a loss but to provide for defense, insure the domestic
tranquility and promote the general welfare, etc. as mentioned in our
constitution.
The basis and purpose of amateur radio is defined in the FCC's Part 97.
Ham Radio was originated in the early days of radio, not just as a
hobby, but as an endeavor where people could get the practical practice
required to attain the skills that were initially required for becoming
professional radio operators. These skills included Morse code
operation and the ability to set up and maintain amateur radio
stations. The Morse requirement is no longer of commercial or military
value BUT the technical skills remain...In fact even more so today if
hams are to continue to explore modern communication methods. A
skilled group of technical communication experts, who have been able to
attain practical experience from Ham Radio on a non-profit basis, is of
potential value to the USA.
Ham Radio is not a service. Only Hams who volunteer are of service.
All Hams are not amateurs.
To many Hams (but not all): - Ham Radio is an important part of their
technical educational experience!
Hams need MORE license classes,

Ask not what the government can do for Hams.
Ask what Hams have done for the government.
Hams must have done a lot or they wouldn't
have managed to retain their bands thus far.
Lets keep it that way! - Not by gripping but
by trying to maintain our reputation by
keeping up with the state of the art, by
being innovative, and by staying informed.

Fine. The best procedure for you to follow, and leave us alone,
is to file a petition with the FCC. They will respond to that petition,
I guarantee it.
Around here, we just don't care. I'm happy with two classes:
Above 30 MHz and below 30 MHz, with a third class for people
who want to go the extra mile.
I'd rather you designed something and wrote up your experiment
than trying to aspire to becoming a lawyer or legal Ham.

Subject: FS: Astron Power Supply transformers
For sale:
Astron power supply transformers
(1) from an Astron RS-20M
(1) from an Astron RS-35M
I replaced the standard 110v transformers in two Astron power supplies
with switchable 110-220v transformers. The transformers which were replaced
are now available. They are in perfect operating order, run quietly (these
are not hummers!)
RS-20 transformer: 110v ac primary, 34v (no load) ac secondary with
center-tap. This transformer is capable of a continuous 16A cont. 20A
intermittent current draw. There is a also another secondary winding, 44v ac
but I don't know how much amperage draw is capable from it. $18
RS-35 transformer: 110v ac primary, 34v (no load) ac secondary with
center-tap. This transformer is capable of 25A cont., 35A
intermittent current draw. There is a also another secondary winding, 44v ac
but I don't know how much amperage draw is capable from it. $25
Either (or both) would make a perfect replacement for your existing supply,
a great addition for the hobbyist or 'built it yourselfer'!
Buyer would pay shipping from S. FL 33478
