HAM HAPPENINGS: LAST MAN STANDING K6T SPECIAL EVENT
CANCELLED
The highly publicized Last Man Standing K6T operating event
will not take place. This according to the television shows
Producer John Amodeo, NN6JA.
The thank you to the ham radio community had been slated to
happen on Sunday, October 28th. According to Amodeo the
decision to cancel was based on concerns about a possible
violation of FCC Regulation 97.113(a)(3).
For those not aware, this rule bars any communications using
ham radio in which the station licensee or control operator
has a pecuniary interest. It also precludes any
communications on behalf of an employer.
In making the announcement Amodeo notes that while everyone
involved with the planned operation are very disappointed
with the cancellation of what would have a fun, one of a
kind event, that as a licensed radio amateur and producer of
broadcast programs, compliance with FCC rules must take
precedence.
Special event station K6T would have worked hams from around
world on HF, VHF, UHF, D-STAR and IRLP. While that's not
going to take place the good news is that the ham station
that is a part of the set of Last Man Standing will remain
and continue to be a part of the shows ongoing plot line.
