Organized, long term freebanders are very aware where they operate and take great measure to ensure against talking on an amateur f requency or one that isn't heavily used on the freeband. If the non-U.S. stations can operate ssb there, why shouldn't I, especially if I want to have a nice DX contact with one of them? I've been a so-called "freebander" since the late sixties but rarely for DX. The primary reason I talked outside of allotted frequencies was for privacy or to contact a specific distant station I wouldn't normally hear on the allotted band. We used to run Ch. 16 -5khz down and 15A a RC Channel running slightly above stock power on 3-4 element directional and easily talk 75-100 miles. I spoke all over the world with better than 1000 confirmed QSL contacts from a slightly peaked Golden Eagle Mark III/IV running through a 4 beam element at 60 feet from Central NJ. actually a good point. if i were to use the freq's the u.s. gov said i can then what is the problem with slipping +/- 5kc's between 'channels'? is that freebanding? better yet, who the hell is the u.s. gov to tell me what is legal or not? if i were to float out to bermuda and xmit would i be freebanding there? do our friends to the north and south really care what the fcc says what americans can/cannot do? not likely.... There are international treaties also that regulate such things. So just floating out to Bermuda doesn't help. |
