Personally, I've suggested that CB'ers and Free Banders be issued complimentary ham licenses for 10 meters and let them fight it out. I'll be betting that the CB'ers win. Most of the "new hams" these days are former CB'ers. With a few notable exceptions, most are quite nice, but also technically lacking. Hahahahahahahahahaha! I'm serious. It's kinda like the red light districts in many cities. If you can't supress prostitution, at least you can control it in a confined space. Give the lunatics room to jam each other, and they won't be tempted to land on licensed frequencies. It's also great for contesting. The art of rudeness, jamming, and tuning up on other peoples conversations have been sufficiently optimized on the ham bands. Time for a new challenge, which will be contesting in a band full of hostile interference. I was running PSK31 on CB for a while, much to the irritation of the channel "owners". Worked nicely and there was little intererence. I consider this advancing the state of the art in communications effectiveness. Surely the FCC and Congress will recognize the value of ham radio to global harmony, where international cooperation is enhanced by the wireless exchange of a signal report, call letter, and contact number, with foreign operators sufficiently politically connected to obtain a ham radio license in their country. Perhaps ham radio should be nominated for the Nobel peace price. I dread to think what such hams might do with their spare time if ham radio were to disappear. Give them a sandbox in which to play and get out of the way. Like this? http://members.cruzio.com/~jeffl/pic...nas/index.html Ugh. That's my "old" site, where I've been playing with JAlbum formatting. I haven't updated it in a while. Go unto: http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/antennas/ for the latest version. The coffee can antenna is in there with better 4NEC2 output. Ooops. The NEC model files seem to have evaporated. I'll fix later tonite. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
