The fact of the matter is, there are only a super
small percentage of truckers on hammie bands.
They are not responsible for any enforcement
"emphasis". In fact, the only "emphasis" appears
to stem from self appointed radio kopps on patrol.

There is no real "emphasis" on anything at the FCC.
Compare the stats from last year, or the year before,
or the year before that. The hammie busts are the
same, the unlicensed busts didn't budge,
and the only FCC radio related enforcements that
have increase in any manner is the amount of fines
levied against commercial radio stations.

Freebanders do not intrude on hammie bands.
Since there are so many hellbent on painting
freebanders with a wide brush, this
would be a good time to educate you on that of
which you are so deluded. Freebanders, at least
the ones I have come across and associated with
since the seventies, are for the most part,
meticulous operators who are very polite and are
comprised of operators, both licensed and
non-licensed, from around the world.

They are for the most part, courteous and
non-intrusive and do NOT intrude on hammie bands,
despite your best attempts at presenting them in
the same light as hammie band invaders.

Parts of 11 meter ARE licensed to various entities
who have chosen to abandon their choice of spectrum.

Same as a vacant lot..cops drive by and see a
bunch of kids playing football or baseball in a vacant
lot,,,yes, the cops know they can technically arrest
the kids for trespassing, yet they use their sound
judgement, as the children are not damaging
anything andthe owner did not compaint, no
action is taken.

You are akin to the little old lady who watches
unsupervised children playing a sandlot game and
continuously calls the cops about the noise
they are making (children laughing) and the
remote possibility that your window MAY get broken.

Thank GOD the FCC adopted a sane approach to
such activities and does not share your position.

The 'cancer" is in self-appointed monitors like
yourself. You're still ****ed 'cause we can DX
HF and you're stuck on your self-ruined freqs.
