Tampa Bay Radio Pirate Is Licensed Captain
(rec.radio.cb,alt.fishing,rec.boats.cruising,rec.b oats)
You can join the search to gather evidence against a "problem" pirate radio operator in the Tampa Bay area.... -His name is unknown, but he goes by the handle of "Twistedhed". -He is white male, 5'10", receding hairline, wears a captains cap. -There is evidence he is a licensed captain operating Sat. and Sun. fishing charters from a Tampa Bay public launch. (You may have been, or know someone who has been on a charter with a captain that answers this description) -He is an illegal radio bootlegger operating on unauthorized goverment allocated frequencies at or above 27.555 mhz. -Not only has he refused to cease operation, he has posted taunting Usenet messages that defy the FCC to catch him. This Saturday, August 23, beginning at 7AM EST, at least one volunteer boat will be cruising the Tampa Bay area. Please join us in our effort. You will be helping to contribute to the public good. Such "radio pirates" often interfere with health and safety communications and emergency transmissions. To catch Twistedhed on the freeband and get him "FCC busted", we will need to have solid evidence. One way is to photograph him on his boat with a telephoto lens. Get the boat's name and reg. number also in the photo. At the same time a recording must be made of the operator illegally transmitting. It may be difficult but it CAN be done. This method has been proven successful by hams in North Carolina for catching illegal truckers on 10 meters. Be advised this is NOT stalking or harassment, simply a legal effort to gain evidence and merely OBSERVE a crime being committed. These are PUBLIC waterways and ALL boaters are permitted to be there. We urge you NOT to confront Twistedhed. Leave that to the FCC and the courts. You are just there to gather evidence. You will need a CB or shortwave receiver capable of receiving 27.555 mhz. This is above the CB frequency band. You will also need a LORAN or GPS. We have confirmed these coordinates around Tampa Bay as "likely" areas that he frequents: The Ice Box is a large area that starts about 8 Nautical miles west of Casey Key and 10.11 miles at a 209? mc from New Pass. He is sometimes in this location. Cuda Hole GPS: 2714.398 - 8245.326: This ledge is called Table Rock and is one of many in the Cuda Hole area that he goes to often. Gully Loran C: 2715.002 - 8246.890: Another large area with ledges he fishes at. A 259? mc for 10.29 miles out of New Pass will put you in the area that Twistedhed frequents. Swiss Cheese Loran C: 2712.031 - 8254.902: This is a hard bottom area. A 250? mc for 18 miles out of New Pass will get you started on locating him. Old Barge GPS 2709.694 - 8253.053: The Old barge is very old and in 80' feet of water. A 249.6? mc for 17.69 miles from the New Pass sea marker is the Range & Bearing. This is a Twistedhed favorite. Point of Rocks GPS 2714.224 - 8231.829: Warning, this place has large rock just under the waters surface for some ways out from the beach. Please be careful. We joke about this man but the truth is that he IS a pirate operator, which means he does not recognize the laws of the USA, so he may try and run you aground if you get too close and he sees that you are attempting to surveil him in the act of freebanding. Please use CAUTION at all times. Please send all tapes and photos to . |

Not that I operate on this frequency, But who actually operates a radio there nowadays? Most public services or whatever you call them i hear on UHF/VHF frequencies. So may I ask, what is the real purpose in finding this guy? Is it an ego trip? Or is the frequency actually in use there? Please fill me in!

This is a troll or it's silly.
There are thousands of people operating in the "freeband" above 27.5 and below 28 mhz. Any *one* of them isn't an issue unless someone has a bug up their ass about it. You guys got hosed. -W "Boating Safety Comm Volunteers" wrote in message om...

From the looks of it, he isn't even blatently doing anything illegal. _ LOL,,,,man, these guys like to think of themselves as radio cops and internet speech cops, but when the tables are turned and they are made to obey rules, they become threatening, hostile, rabid, accusatory, personal, insultive and off-topic. Hundreds upon hundreds of pposts devoted to ME by the resident newsgroup terrorists N3CVJ, Frank Gillinad, KC8LDO, and WA3MOJ. See, they suffer massive deficits in intellec tand communication and as such, have never learned a way to communicate their feelings of self-worth effectively. They are defeated easily in debate as they allow their childish emotions to rule over logic. They are unable to debate or discuss absent of insult and are easily confounded by actual topics, so they do the only thing left that they were taught by whoever raised them....attack the person, not the topic. Most hammies agree that those hammies who feel thecompulsive need to use such obscenities in any form of communication medium more than likely use the same language on the air: The Scourge of Hammie radio. Their egos were handed to them on a platter and they have never had do deal with such turmoil in their lives before, Mike. Good luck to you, sir, and thank you for your good sense. Perhaps you can teach some of these lowlives proper communication technique,,they have yet to display any in years of rec.radio.cb posting. |
