Ten-Four, Ten-Four, good buddy, Got ya twenty pounds. No Doubt yer gettin out, come on back... Yeah, right. I haven't heard lingo like that on any ham bands, even since restructuring happened...... Exception: Right now on 28.085 I hear CB like comms in AM mode. But none sound like hams. Besides AM isn't permitted here, this is a data/code subband. |
Oh! Boy!

Right now (nov 20 20:50 zulu) on 28.085 I hear CB like comms (AM). Sounds as crowded as a regular legal CB channel. None of it really copyable, with all the power mics and ratchet-jaw lingo. QTH in NNJ, nothing over S3. You speak Spanish? ;) |

Make no mistake, this is happening. 73, Steve Lawrence Burnsville, MN And YOU can help! Get out there and listen on the road. Get the tag # of the tractor (not of the trailer), date, time, highway, milepost or exit number. Send this info to . Make a difference: this is how those other truckers got warned--individual hams who quietly listened and accurately reported the above data. RH will then respond IF, again, the info is accurate. Each ham can make a difference and stop that "tan-fer thar, drivah, ah know you rah't, fer-tan thar SQUEAK!!" If we don't, we will eventually hear them beeping and squeaking their way along on 17 Meters. The way to "trap" a driver is to quietly cruise along. Do NOT talk to them or get into an argument! Simply overtake a trucker who *may* be operating on 28.085 AM. As you pass, or he passes you, he may be curious about "them 'funny antenners' thar" and comment to you about it (or other truckers). It is then you copy down the tag # on the FRONT of the tractor, the DOT # (this confirms the identity of the truck), the direction of travel and milepost (or exit), date and time. Also the company name. Send it in! Done correctly, the "man" will send out a warning notice to the company holding THEM responsible for their drivers' actions. It is legal and enforc-able. 73 Jerry Great idea, Jerry! Pile Riley's desk full with all sorts of false reports so he won't believe any of you! *may*?? You better be damned certain when you file a report! Entrapment is also a crime, goodbuddy. |
