Anyone know any of these guys? Is it just possible the hams are playing you
all for fools, planting rumors to titillate you?
A dog chasing its own tail is a funny sight...

I think you are absolutly right, John I think the "hams" are jeolous
of us CB'ers and freebanders cause we are PROFESSIONAL dx'ers while
they are just amateur dx'ers. What do you think?

I think I have been both, freebander/ham, all I think I have seen is that
the freebanders have more fun.

Also, I think the radio spectrum is for the use of all, there needs to be a
good slice of radio spectrum set aside for freebanders, indeed, set aside
for "We the People!"

Unfortunately, the hams have just become a self-serving bunch holding much
of the spectrum to their hobby... they like nice clear spaces of spectrum
where they and a few buddies carry on conversations like old women around a
bridge table.

Unless one feels himself a child who needs a parent telling them what they
CAN'T do--it is time for a change of thinking here...

I think the FCC needs to support radio use amongst the citizens of this
country, not a self-serving group who feel themselves more deserving and
special... I think we all need a better form of radio spectrum use--one
which conforms to the people, NOT makes the people conform to ridiculous
rules...

And, I think a whole lot more... but basically it all revolves around my
seeing hams as self-serving/control-freaks who have a good thing going--and
are getting away with it...

John

Thanks John for your comments and that link is excellent. I used to be
a "ham" to but I found it to be VERY boring (here anyway) about just a
bunch of OLD MEN talking about their poor health issues,"ohhhhh I got a
really bad back" "that's nothin' i got double hernia" "i gotcha both
beat, I'm actually DEAD" (i wish) Anyway you get my point? I WAS a ham
but thankfully not anymore. I find CB AND the freeband to be a MUCH
MORE relaxed atmosphere AND MORE FUN. And your are right , WE need less
hams to be "sarcastic"? That's not the word I'm looking for as I'm
trying to be nice right know, but I think you can understand what I'm
getting at.
Thanks and 73's. I like to say 73's rather than just 73. 73 sounds TOOO
hammie!

I thought freeband was from 26.000 MHz up to channel 1, 26.965
MHz, and from above channel 40, 27.405 MHz, to the edge of the 10
Meter ham band, 28.000 MHz.

What does that have to do with Ham radio spectrum use?

Quit doing so much thinking, you're going to hurt yourself...

I consider the upper freeband to be from 25Mhz to 30Mhz... at least, I have
heard freebanders all across that 5Mhz bandwidth...

Well, 6Mhz bandwidth even...

I'd be willing to bet there are a lot of hams that don't even know
what "freeband" is. If freebanders stay off 10 meters, most hams
wouldn't even care..

That's right, Lancer. Although I'd suggest a little caution going
down the basement steps... 27.4 to 27.9 is worry free.
