You haven't seen very much of the world first-hand, have you?


Not nearly as much as I'd like to. Have travelled exttensively
through Canada, US, Mexico, England, Scotland & Wales.

Admittedly, most of the information I have is second hand.. Australian
Uncle, ...Father and Mother travelled extensively for years through
Europe and the far East..Dad worked in India for some time..My
Daughter who works in Hong Kong, just came home from 4 months in
Mainland China.

While there is no substitute for first hand experience, in today's
information age, a great deal of knowledge about a place can be gained
without actually being on the ground.

While I may not have the stamps in my passport that others do, my
lack of world travel experience does not invalidate my position that
in most countries where the rule of law prevails, anything which is
not forbidden, is permitted.

For purposes of this discussion, you said:

However, others in this forum are able to talk skip without
running afoul of our national regulations.

If you don't know the names of the countries who are "unregulated",
how do you know which "others" in this forum are able to talk skip?

Valid point. I don't....yet.

The whole " not every country has signed the agreements" argument was
really just a rear-guard action on my part untill I could get more
information to bolster my argument.

I thoght my own country had changed its position on CB skip talking
and was going to quote our regs to you. I then discovered that they
hadn't changed at all. At that point all I had left ,was the idea
that it is extremely unlikely ( IMHO ) that every country in the world
had outlawed 11 meter DXing.

And while I believe that there are a number of countries who have no
legislation prohibitting CB skip talking, I have no hard data yet to
back that up.

I spent a little time in the Middle East. While I was there I learned that there
are places you don't go, people you don't talk to, things you don't say, etc,
even though there is no law forbidding such things. I have been other places as
well, and it's pretty much the same way everywhere I went. The US is pretty
unique in that we need every single little rule of conduct to be codified as law
in explicit terms before people finally decide to behave themselves. But as
exemplified in this newsgroup and on the Citizen's Band, even -that- doesn't
always work.

England has no distance limit on their 11-meter CB allocation.

You brought that upon yourself, Franklin. When you and your counterparts
started flaming this NG bigtime in '99, it got way out of control. When
control is lost, then you have CHAOS. And that is the fruits that the AKC
beared. There was no one else to blame but the AKC. Sorry man, that's
the
truth.


How long have you been trolling this NG and under what name?

Not nearly as long as you have, Georgie-girl Busch, nor with the huge
number of names you've used. Wonder why you have to change your NIC
every other day?

Same reason you don't disclose your make believe call sign.

Yes it really is too bad they are restricted to FM mode only. HF DX is
not intended to be a feature of the service.

How would you know it's "make believe", Georgie-girl? You don't yet
know anything about me.

Have YOU ever read the Constitution of the United States? It plainly
states precisely that.
