It's really amazing how a lot of amateur radio experimentation is
actually going on in the 11 meter CB realm......



It's even more amazing how a lot of amateur radio experimentation is
actually going on under Part 15 rules (especially the 1750 meter
band), and below 9 kHz where the FCC has no control.

do you consider those operators under 9 khz freebanders?



Interesting thought..... but yes, I think the term describes them
better than it does illegal operators on 11 meters. The latter would
be more accurately called 'freeloaders'.



opportunists may be a better phrase.



I disagree. Ham radio offers much greater opportunities for the radio
enthusiast than the small, uncontrolled slice of the spectrum around
11m.

like i said, opportunists.

The only things it demands in return are that you memorize a few
technical questions, then pay a fee that will set you back about as
much as a happy meal. That seems to be too much of a sacrifice for
some people, but I don't think a true opportunist would pass it up.



why would anyone want to pay a fee to talk?


Oh, maybe for the same reason they would want to pay their phone bill.



hypothetically speaking, if all u.s.
'freebanders' were to cease xmitting why would other operators in
foreign countries follow suit? they wouldn't of course.




Your point being..... what?


you post your distaste for 11m freeebanding while its a fcc decree that
claims its illegal. other countries could give a damn.


Neither does the FCC, but then why did so many countries sign the ITU
treaty? Because they don't give a damn?


this ng is an
international forum.


This newsgroup has no charter, so the scope is defined by the title:
rec.radio.CB. It is therefore a forum for any country that has a
Citizen's Band. But also notice that each country's Citizen's Band is
defined by law.


if it is illegal to xmit below 9khz why are posting it here instead of a
hammie ng where the spectrum is closer?


But it is -not- illegal to transmit below 9kHz. It is not defined as a
Citizen's Band, but it -is- radio spectrum that can be legally used
without a license just like any of the other Citizen's Bands, and as
such it is much more closely associated with the title and scope of
this group than the so-called 'freeband'.
