That's odd coming from the re.radio.cb legal police. What about all the keyclown name calling? No fine means innocent in your book$. So until you produce evidence of fines, that the regular posters in rec.radio.cb , have been charged with, please STFU. makes sense... to an ignoramous True. I come from a long line of ignoramous's and it makes perfect sense to me. |

Brenda Ann wrote: "jim" wrote in message ... actually a good point. if i were to use the freq's the u.s. gov said i can then what is the problem with slipping +/- 5kc's between 'channels'? is that freebanding? The frequencies that the US govt. says you can are those specific frequencies that constitute the 40 standard CB channels. The distance away from the center of any channel is tightly regulated, and you can't be more than 0.005% away from that center (~1.3 KHz), which is actually pretty broad when compared to say, broadcast AM, which is only allowed a 20 Hz leeway). that is what the u.s. gov proclaims. my point is they have no say so outside territorial waters. whether or not the gov abides by itu standards on this matter is open. The fact is the US Govt HAS signed on with ITU and honors *most* treaties. better yet, who the hell is the u.s. gov to tell me what is legal or not? If you are a US citizen, they are granted that right by the constitution, and by treaty. please point out the constitutional section you mentioned. Title 47, US Code and The Communications Act of 1934 voted upon by Congress. There is a major difference between Federal laws and the Constitution. The references that you cite are NOT sections of the Constitution. Please retake your civics and political science classes. |

The UK Radio Authority is much more harsh than the FCC. Sorry, but I have to disagree. Even at the height of CB, when 100s of thousands of people were running illegal CB in one way or another, the yearly "bust" figures were just into double digits - it has remained in the 20s and 30s. Most illegal CBers get ignored, some get a "Please don't do that" verbal warning, some may get a written warning,. So, what do the very few big busts get... £1000s in fines? Prison? No... a couple of hundred pound fine if any - and the illegal equipment snatched. If the RA were "harsh", they would consider illegal CBers as "Pirates"... and give them the very large Pirate fine. Those using Amateur illegally would be hunted down like dogs and given the punisment available under UK law - prison. When nearly everyone was using illegal antennas, they changed the antenna rules to make those antennas legal. When CBers were illegally using the American frequencies, they legalised the band for CB use. When they wanted American CBs out of the hands of CBers, they made it legal for Amateurs to convert the sets to 10 Metre - so they would buy them from CBers, make them legal, and save the RA the bother of chasing people. If they were harsh, they would have put "No DX" and "no talking to foreigners" rules in place. They would ban the import and sales of the illegal CBs marked as "Amateur". They would ban the ownership or use of Amplifiers that work on CB. America does all those - The UK does none of them. I would say that our CB service has very few rules, and enforcement only as a last resort. A few years back, a group of people set themselves up as self-appointed CB police. They went around looking for CB antennas and CBers - sending a list to the RA, for them to catch the licence dodgers. You would think that the "bust" figure would have shot through the roof - but the RA couln't be arsed to do the chasing. They now plan to remove the licence next year - so reducing the amount of illegal CBers even further. Regards, Peter. |

... if i were to float out to bermuda and xmit would i be freebanding there? What about just outside of American waters? I am not sure that it still exists but, for years, we had a Pirate radio station that was just outside of UK waters... the Gov. couldn't touch them. Regards, Peter. |
