[BC]a question for the CFR experts

[JYRussell@academicplanet.com]

Isn't it spec'd in the CFR that it is indeed patently illegal to 
intentionally attempt to communicate by commercial radio communication with 
parties beyond your licensed contour..? (Or some fancy language version of 
that...)

   which part...section etc....?

  It always gives me fits when a listener sends in a letter to the station 
with accurate reception reports... usually a ham person, or late-night radio 
afficianado, which is fine and dandy... BUT...  when the GM presses me to 
answer them because he's "proud of his little station", I always try to make 
it plain in the letter that it was never our intent nor did we ever expect 
to send a signal so far.   I bring up ducting when it's the FM, explain the 
AM a bit if it's the AM... thank them politely, send them a bumper sticker 
and warn them to keep their card (which, sure, I send back!) but I remind 
them it's not likely they'll hear us again...

   Too far in the CYA department... not enough...?
