There's just not enough VHF homebrew out there!

IMHO, we can thank that no-code licence that restricts you to
commercially-made equipment for this.

Our respective IC and FCC want all V/UHF HAM's to be glorified CB'ers

Your "rant" would make more sense if you'd stated that you were here in
Canada. Most of the world won't have a clue what you are talking
abnout.

And, the fact that in Canada one cannot use home made transmitters until
they pass the advanced test likely is not a significant factor here.
Canada is a small country, and over the years there's rarely been
technical material published in the few Canadian ham publications. So
we look to the US and the UK for technical material, and they don't have
such limits on what one can build.

Hi Michael,

I wish our leaders would get off their fat, beaurocratic butts and
actually *lead* in the area of communications again.

I say *again*, because we were "t3h pwnz0r" the US and UK until the
mid-60's, in the electronics field.

As for publications, yes, the US and UK do lead. As much as I hate the
ARRL's politics and attitude towards many policies, I have ARRL
publications and they are my bible :-)
