The following is the 1993 change to FCC rule 97.113


     97.113 Prohibited transmissions.

     (a) No amateur station shall transmit:

     (1) Communications specifically prohibited elsewhere in this Part:

     (2) Communications for hire or for material compensation, direct or
indirect, paid or promised, except as otherwise provided in these rules;

     (3) Communications in which the station licensee or control
operator has a pecuniary interest, including communications on behalf
of an employer.  Amateur operators may, however, notify other amateur
operators of the availability for sale or trade, of apparatus normally
used in an amateur station, provided that such activity is not conducted
on a regular basis;

     (4) Music using a phone emission except as specifically provided
elsewhere in this Section; Communications intended to facilitate a
criminal act; Messages in codes or ciphers intended to obscure the meaning
thereof, except as otherwise provided herein;  Obscene or indecent words
or language; or false or deceptive messages, signals, or identification;

     (5) Communications, on a regular basis, which could reasonably be
furnished alternatively through other radio services.

     (b) An amateur station shall not engage in any form of
broadcasting, nor may an amateur station transmit one-way communications
except as specifically provided in these rules;  nor shall an amateur
station engage in any activity related to program production or
newsgathering for broadcasting purposes, except that communications
directly related to the immediate safety of human life or the protection
of property may be provided by amateur stations to broadcasters for
dissemination to the public where no other means of communication is
reasonably available before or at the time of the event.
     (c) A control operator may accept compensation as an incident of a
teaching position during periods of time when an amateur station is used
by that teacher as a part of classroom instruction at an educational
institution.
     (d) A control operator of a club station may accept compensation
for the periods of time when the station is transmitting telegraphy
practice or information bulletins, provided that the station transmits
such telegraphy practice and bulletins for at least 40 hours per week;
schedules operations on at least six amateur service MF and HF bands
using reasonable measures to maximize coverage;  where the schedule of
normal operating times and frequencies is published at least 30 days in
advance of the actual transmissions;  and where the control operator
does not accept any direct or indirect compensation for any other
service as a control operator.
     (e) No station shall retransmit programs or signals emanating from
any type of radio station other than an amateur station, except
propagation and weather forecast information intended for use
by the general public and originated from United States Government stations,
and communications, including incidental music, originating on United
States Government frequencies between a space shuttle and its associated
Earth stations.  Prior approval for shuttle retransmissions must be
obtained from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.  Such
retransmissions must be for the exclusive use of amateur operators.
Propagation, weather forecasts, and shuttle retransmissions may not be
conducted on a regular basis, but only occasionally, as an incident of
normal amateur radio communications.
     (f) No amateur station, except an auxiliary, repeater or space
station, may automatically retransmit the radio signals of other
amateur stations.
