My Kenwood 440 SAT, I was told when I bought it the 40 in 440 is for 40 channels. Train Boy you assclowns really want to be hams, so much so you buy ham radios as well. Want to bet they slip in to the Ham 10m Ham band from time to time using a bootleg call sign. Tim Nebo used a mod'ed Yeasu FT-840 to do the same thing. Boy did he get hot with the denials when I brought up the subject that he was using the rig on something other than 11m, like bootlegging on the Ham HF bands. He even publicly asked about using the so called "Charlie" frequencies, used by airliners over the ocean for long distance communication, on this very news group. Now that the sun spots are on the wan the only DX these freebanders are going to see "regularly" will be on the lower Ham HF bands. Since they don't have any morals about ignoring Part 95 rules I'm sure that some of them can't resist the urge to spin that VFO dial down to a Ham band. All it takes is a simple dipole and some coax to get on the band for them. I'll be great sport to see how many bootleggers can be ID'ed and busted. Maybe even suggest it as a new form of contesting to the ARRL! -- Leland C. Scott KC8LDO ARRL Member NCI Member Charter member of the Lawrence Technological University Wireless Society W8LTU |
