i didn't see any reference to freeband freq's just mention of amateur
freq's. wonder if the the fcc is avoiding the gray area concerning
freebanding in this case.



That wouldn't make any difference, would it? They are making their case
against the sale and use of these so-called "export" radios inside the USA.
Actually, it WAS the issue of unlicensed users of the Amateur bands that
caused the curent enforcement emphasis. Had the "freebanders" stayed out of
the ham bands, I doubt there would be an eyebrow raised. When the folks
start
treading on licensed spectrum, THAT is what causes the
ruckus.

agreed jerry. that was my point. screw with the amateur bands and you get
spanked. freebands is a different story.

For what it is worth the FCC needs tto give the 11-meter band back to
hams. They also need to move the truckers to the family band in the Hi
VHF. This would allow them to get controll of the 11 meter band. I
have said this for years. I cannot beleive that they would put such a
service on a band that is so full of propragation. Then develop that
150 mile rule. Man that goes against all of human nature.We all know
that if we here a voice far away we are going to want to know if that
person whom that voice belongs to can here us. What a trasp the FCC
setup in 1958. So to gain control of the problem the FCC needs to put
a license class out there that requires no test. Allow them to talk on
11 meters then allow the hams with the help of local officals in the
area to control the band. And anyone that gets to far out of line gets
reported.Then allow the system to do its work. It would take half as
long to clean up the cancer as it took to grow. Heck to put a stop to
the illeagal freebanding give the people what they want. Open up 25
MHZ to 30 MHz. I have never heard anything there but CB ham and
freebanders. The best way to stop radio pirates is to make what they
do leagal. That would take the excitment from it and I think it will
stop.
