writes: Hiker rescue has legal issues as a ham in california found out when he called in on an Authority frequency with a modified HT. Rescue was performed, but his HT was confiscated! Yep - but you gotta tell "the rest of the story"..... The ham in question called for help on a police frequency, which he was not authorized to use. Yes, anyone can use any frequency or mode in a life-or-death emergency when there is no other option, but the authorities demonstrated that the ham's HT would bring up several local repeaters from the rescue site - all of which had autopatch that could call 911. Case closed. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
