"moparholic" wrote in message lkaboutradio.com... Who is it hurting? Many laws are on the books that are not enforced. Like jaywalking and going 36mph in a 35 mph zone. Just because we are not sheople who follow "laws" blindly you hams get all bent out of shape. If they (FCC) are not enforcing their rules and no one cares about it why do stuck up HAMS care? What 11M DXers do is not hurting your use of ham bands, you should worry more about cleaning up your own bands. actually there is a valid point to be made here beside the obvious troll bait. I am afraid there is more to operating than plugging in a radio and talking. there is some technical knowledge needed to adjust and operate the equipment properly, unfortunately freebanders bypass the exam process that makes sure hams have some minimal level of knowledge. the other part of this is the public identification of hams by callsigns. since callsigns are issued by the government and public records are available it is possible to contact stations with bad signals or that are causing interference for one reason or another. with freebanders and even cbers operating on the legal frequencies but with illegal equipment that is not possible. I have frequently identified interference as far up as 28500khz from stations half a country away operating obviously maladjusted equipment from 27025khz and 28085khz. These operators can of course not be identified but are obviously using excessive power and wildly maladjusted equipment. a legal ham who was causing interference like that would be identified and corrected either by other hams or the fcc very quickly. as it is now freebanders can be interfering with operations they can't even hear, or that they hear but don't realize are legitimate commercial or military users, and there is no quick way to correct the situation. |

This is the weenie who is under court order to get a job and support his kids? Who slept with him? Roseanne Barr? Phyllis Diller? Doug wouldn't defend himself when I took his picture, so now he's forging me. If the "post" I responded to was a forge and not you, I apologize. Steve, K4YZ Steve, before you apologize to a freebander find out the truth. ask moparholic what freq he operates on and what equip he uses, or just google his addy and find out |
