What do you mean "shame on us?" I took time to report the SOB, did you?

Also, why do you blame it on ham radio? I see nothing NOTHING in the
listing that points to a ham.

Get your crap together before doing a similar post, jerk.


Ebay certainly makes it difficult to report things like this. Elsewhere
they say to report violations using the "report item" link that is in the
item's page. I spent about 10 minutes searching the page for the link. It
IS NOT THERE. So went the long way into them and reported it.

Probably to save you the trouble of making a report they'll ignore
anyway.

At their peril.

You need to improve your reading skills.

By the way, have you advised the FCC that eBay is unwilling to follow-up on
illegal CB sales? No? Why not?

This is NOT good for ham radio ..I care about that,You should
too.JERK

I do not see that an illegal sale on eBay reflects on ham radio. It
reflects on eBay and the guy trying to auction the forbidden equipment.

Why are YOU feeling so guilty?

Didn't the FCC rescind the ban on 10 meter amplifiers?

Agreed. How in the hell can hams control what somebody sells on ebay?

Linears have been used on CB for decades. The FCC gave up trying to police
the CB band ages ago. The proximity of the CB band to 10 meters is
unfortunate, but any hack worth his salt could convert a 15 meter amp to
work on 27 mcs.

Now I wonder if the "alarm" that set off this thread might not be a cloaked
advert of the auction.

What's the big deal anyway, any clod who can use a soldering iron without
doing him/herself a serious injury can BUILD an 11/10 Meter amp, all ya need
is a schematic and some $$ for parts



1: Legality
2: Spectral Purity
3: Collateral damage to other services
a. making once legal products illegal
b. unlicensed pirates on ham frequencies.

Isn't that enough?
