The Radio Secrecy Act stipulates that for non-commercial stuff
1. We can't profit from the contents
2. No divulging the contents to third parties..
Can't profit from the contents is correct, but there is MUCH more to the third parties clause. Like I said, I can record an analog cell conversation in the 800MHz band and post it on the internet legally. It has happened before, and the federal government outright said there was nothing they could do so long as it didn't make any money off the website.
In fact, a search for the Radio Secrecy Act returned no results. You can easily get the entire contents of the Radiocommunications Act online. I have never heard of the Radio Secrecy Act before, and neither have any of my hamming friends. News to me.

Hmmm, wonder how news agencies get around not being able to divulge police traffic (since they report traffic incidents and respond to fire and hostage situations) and make profit. |
