Default Ham or CB Antenna?


Thank you, very much!


Since I didn't know his name, I just started clicking on all of the
names in my zip code, and his address popped up.


So, it is definitely a Ham.


Thanks for everyone's advice and help!


He could be a ham , but also operating on the CB at times. If you can hear
him comming in with a clear voice on your computer or sterio speakers, he is
probably operating AM and not in single side band. If you got his name and
call leters off the FCC data base, you should hear him give the call leters
atleast once every 10 minuits. If you do not hear them,but he uses one of
the made up names, he could be operating out of the ham bands and on the CB
with too much power. This is not legal.

As pointed out , many computer speakers and other home items are not
resistant to radio transmitters. It is up to you and the maker of the
speaker, or other devices to correct this problem. If he is operating with
illeagle power or out of the ham bands then it is his problem.
