I don't know where you got the idea I was taking ANY stance, or how you got 
the impression I was perpetuating a war.  Go back and read the posts.  I 
never offered any solution to any problem, perceived or real; in fact my 
post was informational.

I could comment about your accusatory "tone," but I won't.  Again, my posts 
were informational.  If there is widespread interference to licensed 
operations in a band by part 15 devices, THEN the FCC should be notified.

Again, I did not promulgate the idea.  But for what it's worth, a beacon 
could be established that properly IDed and carried coherence, which would 
not be considered harmful interference.
