I understand that; still, I'm not willing to allow the traffic to pass.<br>
<br>
<pre wrap="">"from a legal (part 97) standpoint the IGate operator has _no_ obligations

Then why are people so upset about the entire issue? Let the FCC track him
down and enforce the regulations. (Said in jest - I know what the chances of that are: "slim and none".)

As decentralized as the IGate system is, attempting to block these
rogue operators is not terribly practical, IMO. Yes, if I were
running an IGate I'd probably do so, but from a legal (part 97)
standpoint the IGate operator has _no_ obligations on RF to IS
traffic.
