You are being targeted for busts in 2004. You keykweenz are going to
get nailed. Read below and get ready to feel the heat. We can't wait
to post the FCC notices on the NG, it will be great fun.
Make certain to laugh when one of your ham friends goes down, too. We
might believe that you're unbiased if you do so. (that'll be the day!)
FCC rule 2.815(b): After APR 27, 1978, no person shall manufacture,
sell or lease, offer for sale or lease (including advertising for
sale or lease), or import, ship, or distribute for the purpose of
selling or leasing or offering for sale or lease, any external radio
frequency amplifier or amplifier kit capable of operation on any
frequency or frequencies between 24 and 35 MHz.
Signed,
Your Losers and Faggots, the AKC
Equipment in and of itself and mere possession of such equipment is
not illegal. Only certain uses of some equipment can be considered
illegal. No matter what you would like to believe.
I could have an entire house full of amplifiers and the FCC couldn't
touch them without presenting PROOF of illegal use. Read the CB rules,
dum@$$. If you know how to read, that is.
Wrong, fudgepacker. Ask the FCC. In their view, posession implies use.
Ask them, then shut the snipback to the truckstop.
No, you ask the FCC, possession alone does NOT presume use. There has
to be OTHER EVIDENCE that you had operated wirh more power.
Get your facts straight, then shut the ------------
Right. Which seems to me to mean that when they have
measured the station with outside monitoring (spectral
analysis, etc) they already gotcha so to speak. They can certainly measure
your power from a distance, so that when they knock on your door and find an
amp, they
can "assume" that you are operating with excessive power. Now if an agent
came to your home without any
evidence (maybe as an acquantance or friend of a friend)
and saw a CB amp sitting on a shelf, then he couldn't cite
you for it because there is no "other" evidence that it is being used
illegally. That other evidence is usually gathered beforehand. Such an
agent *might* (I doubt it)
go back home and begin to monitor you--who knows?
Reasonable debate, not flames and filthy insults, is welcomed.
