A QRZ Trivia Question That Smegma Radio May Find Educational

Of course they have to be able to hear the transmitter from more than one location to triangulate a location, but with both 14 fixed and an unknown number mobile assets finding something in the US is not a difficult task once they start looking. Of course any clandestine (i.e. illegal) transmitter will have to somehow catch the attention of the FCC, either by the FCC monitoring stations stumbling onto it or somebody bringing it to their attention. Of course, the transmitter will need to be active for some period of time to allow them to pinpoint the exact location. So, if someone insists on being a pirate radio operator, they are gambling that they won't get caught... Just like the nuts who think the posted speed limits are only suggestions and that the lack of Highway Patrol Officers means anything goes, sometimes get caught. I for one don't want to loose my ticket. Despite what SC says, I worked for that Extra... -= bob =- |
