Jerry, my man, you are full of ****. Why are you talking this smack?
Speaking falsely and of this type bull**** really takes away from your
other knowledge, as you know this is untrue, yet you continue to
propagate such bull**** for whatever reason. Gee, how the pseudo-elmers
have fallen. You have informed me of several things I did not not
realize concerning the MARS/CAPS (such as many, many hammies using it as
an excuse to have their radios modded for cb) and a few things
concerning mathematics as relating to certain harmonics. It's a shame
how one can taint years of integrity with a single post. Problems with
your posting host, Jer?

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.

Bottom line......for all practical and intent purposes, the United
States consider LICENSED stations AND operators under its jurisdiction
governed by the laws set forth by the FCC. It's why those fishing boats
were popped not too far back for conducting their business on the
freeband...they were way out in the Bering Sea, but they were registered
US crafts.

we had the same thing here off the coast of long island with a ship called
the jessie or something along those lines. it was shut down by the fed gov
because it broadcast within the territorial limit. it basically played
beatles tunes with no commercials. low power you bet. was it interfering
with commercial broadcasts? not with that power. if it aint taxed it
must be illegal...

If the non-U.S. stations can operate ssb there, why shouldn't I,
especially if I want to have a nice DX contact with one of them?

Many of us LIKE the law as it is, it keeps "yes men" off the freqs. Same
analogy as the gun issue...when guns are outlawed only
outlaws will have guns...no, yoo won't find many freebanders lobbying fo
r change to open the freqs because the law as it reads, doesn't bug us.


No rationalization is even needed except to reply to folks
that repeatedly ask over and over, "Why?" It is these folks
that feel they need a reason why we do what we do, not us.

You really are not very good at forgery, twit.

There's a big difference here, Buckaroo, and that is firearms are
LEGAL in most places in the United States.

The ILLEGAL use of a firearm is a felony.

Your operating of a radio transmitter on unauthorized frequencies
is ILLEGAL...PERIOD. It's NOT a "freedom" thing.

You're right..."...No rationalization is even needed..." It's
against the law for good reasons, the most significant being that you
have "stolen" those frequencies from other users of the spectrum who
are now forced to do thier business else where. That's expensive, and
sometimes it's dangerous.

If it were limited to 11 meters, it probably wouldn't be an
issue, but the "freebander blight" is spreading out to the Maritime
frequencies, both HF and VHF, military frequencies, and other business
users, among others.

I am persoanlly aware of numerous "interruptions" of traffic due
to some ignoramus trying to "break in" for a "signal report" on
military frequencies and Civil Air Patrol's frequencies.

Don't wrap yourself up in that "free spirit" crap. You're
breaking the law and disrupting the use of the spectrum.

These people are purposely forging and cross posting in an attempt
to start flame wars and Ham vs CB wars.
Sometimes they post messages against illegal use, other times they post
messages praising it - using different names and forges. It's just a
childish game.
