it just shows that Hams are just as bad,
don't follow the rules any better.

Really? Just listen across the ham bands and you will find that 99% of
the hams are following the rules. Listen across the 11 meter band and
you will find 99% of the operators are breaking the rules.


Really JUJU, why is it that 99% of the hams are busted, only
10% of cb's busted? Please don't say it's the money, 10K is
10K, no matter who pays it.

You can't see the forest through the trees, shark. Busting someone
that isn't licensed costs much more money in man-hours, equipment
usage, travel expenses, etc. There needs to be monitoring and DFing,
at least one warning notice, more monitoring and DFing, a request for
station inspection, more monitoring and DFing, etc, etc, etc. This is
done because once an NAL is issued, the evidence needs to be very
nearly unimpeachable to avoid legal challenges in court, which would
cost even more money in court fees and lawyers. That's why when you
-do- hear of a CBer getting busted the violations are usually quite
extensive. On the other hand, it's easy to bust a ham because a lot of
the legal process is eliminated by the fact that the violator is
licensed -- the license pre-empts most of the issues upon which a
legal challenge could be made. All they need to do is record a few
illegal transmissions, do a DF and audio comparison against legal
transmissions where the ham identifies himself, then cite the ham for
a violation against his license. Very cheap and easy.
