Amateur radio is probably the only radio service where a licensee can simply assemble a transmitter and put it on the air without any formal type-acceptance, approval or certification - at least here in the lower 50 provinces. Pennsylvania is a "province?!?" :-) Your lack of a sense of humor is obvious, Len ;-) ;-) Actually it's a commonwealth. Okay, so Pennsylvania seceeded from the Union...otherwise called the United States of America. STATES. No great loss, really... ....sez the non-native Californian who frequently belly aches about the eastern states. I've built-from-scratch (not including kits, no carbon copies of homebrew articles) in my home workshops, at least: 5 receivers 5 transmitters 3 transceivers 4 transmatches 12 power supplies 4 TR systems 5 pieces of test equipment various shack furniture, antennas, power cables, control systems, etc. Keep on doing that. Eventually you'll get some of them to work. The N2EY profile of your likely actions would fit nicely here. The above list does not include: - surplus units converted/restored - manufactured equipment restored/repaired/modified - kits built or rebuilt Keep on doing that. Eventually some may work... What is it with you, Leonard? I've worked several of the regulars here on rrap using my homebrew rigs. I can often be found on or around 7040 using CW. 7040 what? It's a ham radio thing. You wouldn't understand. You have absolutely verifiable proof, iron-clad, evidenciary documentation that such RF was actually generated by this "home-built" equipment? Is that supposed to be necessary, Len? What's it to you? You aren't involved. Keep at it old-timer. Eventually you can get to changing frequency and work some other bands... What amateur bands do you work, old timer? And my transmitters have all been legally used in the service for which I am licensed. So you say...because the FCC was too busy with other monitoring. Maybe Jim can note which particular pieces of homebrew gear he uses on which nights. He can have the whole shebang notarized and forward the info to you on a weekly basis. All of MY transmissions and transmitters have been legally used in the services for which I am licensed...and in the radio services and government contract work which did NOT require any civilian license. Are you licensed in the Amateur Radio Service, Len? You got the scratch, Elecraft has the KIT you can build. All by yourself. I built one of those back in 2001. Kits are not homebrew. So, you built it someplace else other than your residence. Now explain to us again about your 1948 unlicensed operations... Why? Those were within the regulations of unlicensed RF emitters at the time. AM broadcast band "wireless phonograph adapters." :-) You're a regular Marconi. You are welcome to retain an attorney to bring legal action to bear on alleged felonious radio emissions of 55 years ago! :-) Have him show us his cute legal briefs. Contact Riley Hollingsworth immediately! Let loose the legal hounds. Sound the Hue & Cry on the NTS! Bring the might of the US government LAW down on me! Are you erecting a new statute of limitiations or are you just erecting? Tsk, tsk, tsk...in 1953 I was transmitting 4 KW PEP SSB ON some amateur bands. Legally. Sue the United States Army for that. [remember what happened to "Tail Gunner Joe" when that senator tried to "get" the U. S. Army on another matter...] Your time machine isn't set properly. Get to work and FIX it. We are now on Standard REALITY time, not the daylight savings time of your fantasyland of long ago. Len, you're a goofball. Dave K8MN |
