what scares me is he works for a school system in Connecticut. what the hell is he teaching the students there? what kind of role model could he possibly be? he has his students do all the backend forum work and maintenance such as banning IP's.

Could Have Been an Un-Intentional Mistake on Bill's Part
Count me among those who remember the claim that the property boundary marked the place where field strength of the camp organization's had to meet the rules.
I remember thinking that he must have been thinking about 15.221 which does allow a "campus boundary" for educational institutions and I thought maybe the camp was an educational organization.
But 15.221 applies to the AM band only. There is no special campus rule for FM.
Mistakes can be forgiven if the person who made the mistake admits it.

Deeper and Darker
Part15 Engineer raises a disturbing thought: "What scares me is he works for a school system in Connecticut. what the hell is he teaching the students there? what kind of role model could he possibly be? he has his students do all the backend forum work and maintenance such as banning IP's."
Ouch, that is an upsetting possibility and could actually mislead young people into mischief that could hurt somebody.
Our problem is that we are not a spy agency and have no agenda to investigate in the name of social justice.
We can visualize such a grim scenario, but have no choice but to leave it to chance.

He is not in the instructional area. He works in the IT department where no doubt at the tax payer's expense is wasting personal time while on the job. Obsession with IP blocking is his mission of the day. |

IP blocking really is not that hard. Honestly it's pretty easy. The idea that it became difficult is beyond me. If you run the forums at your place you could run a simple program called peerblock. It's the same program that we use as file sharing folks to block out the RIAA and other anti P2P companies.
That being said if I logged onto his site and he gets my IP address he can then go ahead and ban all Ip's that are in my town. Or for that matter near it. It could go on further to block out all IP's in my town by the same provider that I have.
Now if I use a VPN such as btguard or it's hidden or maybe even yes this is actually the name hidemyass Pro. These VPN's often have servers in the United States as well as offshore servers from different countries.
The only part I'm bringing up about this whole Monkey Business is that some folks it's monkey see but monkey don't do as I do. In other words I'm special and you're nothing but a servant unto me. I am the master you do as I say and if you don't then you will be known as a troublemaker and you will be blocked. Or even worse you could be dealt with in the way a certain friend of mine was.
Another thing that is very intimidating is that this certain person that were talking about tends to show that he has upfront and personal relationship with the FCC. This could be very bad as well because even if it were so then what does he have over everybody else where he get special privileges. I guess it's not what you know but who you know?
I do believe and I've often said this that everything all ties together as far as this radio hobby goes. And I guess there are so many interpretations of the law that really you just have to do as you do and hope for the best.

I don't want to get too far off topic, but VPN's are also relatively easy to detect. There are software services that provide lists of IP addresses of VPN servers around the world and all you have to do is check to see if an IP coming in is on that list.
You can do the same thing for encrypted private networks such as TOR, as these have to have exit points to the regular Internet, and the IP addresses of these exit points are known as well.
The difficulty in blocking IP's, if you're really serious, is that each ISP (including cellular services) have their own set of IP's. So a user that is also serious can use different devices on different providers (and even in different towns) to change their IP's sufficiently to evade a block. Plus, simple blocking is usually done on a router, sometimes which serves multiple sites (a single hosting server, unless you roll your own, will generally have more than one site on it), and blocking an IP to one site affects all the sites on that server.
So it really is a maintenance pain in the a** to block IP's, even if technically it is relatively easy.
It would be much nicer if we could all just get along.

Be sure to check out www.part15.us/blogs/richpowers/first-tis-we-know-it-today I titled it first Tis which it is, but I meant to title it the first part15AM stations as we know it, also don't miss the Highway department commissions link report under the pages shown, it's also about the same transmitters but it's even more interesting. |
