147? Yeah right.


I realize that it is hard for you to comprehend that, with me being a
CBer. Challenging a belief system can be tough. Like your belief that all
CBers are to stupid to pass the ham test, that we sit around all day
swilling beer and saying "ten-fer good buddy". Or my favorite belief you
hold, "I have a ham ticket, that makes me special."

I find that those who brag about their IQs is about all they have to brag
about. I know people with IQs higher then yours who couldn't find their
way to the bathroom and back without help, so what does you IQ prove?
Nothing.

I only pointed it out to show that you believe those that use cb radio and
those with no ham ticket are intellectually inferior. So yes, I proved that
quite clearly.


As far as knowing more about radio, I converted my first transmitter, a
Heath DX-60 from controlled carrier AM (you even know what controlled
carrier AM is without looking it up?) to high level plate modulation (you
even know what high level plate modulation is without looking it up?). I
once designed and built my own SSB 80-10 meter transmitter plus many other
pieces of ham equipment. Also constructed a 15 meter three element beam
using gamma matching (you even know what gamma matching is without looking
it up?). What have you designed and built for your 'good buddy ten-fer
ther' cb hobby, mister IQ?

I don't need to look up any of those items.
I am in the process of building a ssb radio to match the linear I built last
year. Though I am certain I spend a great deal less time working on those
types of projects as I have other interests in my life.

Care to give some details like what method of SSB generation this here
radio will use? Will this be a transmitter or tranceiver? What will the
IF frequency be? To go with your linear? So you are just another law
breaking cber I see.

Care to tell us your call sign, buzzard?

Does this mean you think all CB'ers are law breakers???

No, not all chicken banders are law breakers, but a very large portion are.

If Dr IQ is running an external linear he certainly is. If he is going
to build a cb transmitter, which will not be type accepted and put it on
the air he certainly will be.

Type approved.... hmm, its a bit of a strange one that ... which makes me
think "type approved" for Amateur is something home made from bits of
anything.... not tested by anyone... just soldered together by an Amateur so
it must be perfect ...right? No spurious emmisions or any interference
because the person cobbling it together is an Amateur...... Now no
disrespect here is aimed at Amateurs, just some of the laws governing the
hobby seem to be crazy. Amateurs building their own kit and having it tested
via some professional body before use i can accept.... but does that ticket
mean you can build your own "boots" and use it no matter how bad it may be
made? It seems so..... sod type approval eh. Or were you just relating to
"licence conditions"
I know a few Amateurs who are law breakers too. Using their illegally
adapted Amateur equipment to listen in to CB frequencies i believe is a NO
NO, unless you have a CB licence... to which would Amateurs actually bother
to get a CB licence? Are the radios actually legal to use on the CB bands??
i dont know 100% so i ask the question. We all do things from time to time
that are deemed illegal.... so your statement on "No, not all chicken
banders are law breakers, but a very large portion are" could be said
against any group of people.

Whats your opinion on M3's? Do you encorage them or see them as a stain on
Amateur radio? Im just curious by the way.

Graham

Maybe the rules are different where you are, but in the US amateurs can
construct any of their equipment, but it *is their responsibility* to
test it and make sure it operates legally. If it doesn't they can be
held accountable by the FCC. Granted, there are few today, due to lack
of technical knowledge that can do that. It wasn't that long ago
however, that finding a ham station completely constructed by the
amateur wasn't uncommon or often surplus military gear would be modified
for use on the amateur bands. With the plug-and-talk equipment of today,
easier test with given answers that can be memorized, the technical
expertise of the amateur is sadly lacking

I know a few Amateurs who are law breakers too. Using their illegally
adapted Amateur equipment to listen in to CB frequencies i believe is a NO
NO, unless you have a CB licence...

In the US any ham or anyone else can legally listen in on cb frequencies.

to which would Amateurs actually bother
to get a CB licence?

Since there is no requirement here for a cb license I don't suppose any
amateur would bother.

Are the radios actually legal to use on the CB bands??

Only radios that are type accepted for cb use are legal to use on the cb
bands. There is a problem here with imported radios that have 'expanded'
channels that will also operate on the 10 meter ham band. These radios
are not 'type certified' for cb use and they are purchased by unlicensed
persons and are often used on the 10 meter band. Some time back it was a
popular thing for amateurs to take cb radios and convert them for use on
the 10 meter band, just change the crystals, peak up the circuits and
you had a nice little mobile 10 meter radio. Once modified as such the
radios were no longer type certified nor legal for cb use but perfectly
legal for amateur use.

i dont know 100% so i ask the question. We all do things from time to time
that are deemed illegal.... so your statement on "No, not all chicken
banders are law breakers, but a very large portion are" could be said

True, but there is a much larger percentage of illegal operation on the
cb band than on the amateur bands, at least here in the US. And we have
the 'freebanders' who for some strange reason think they have the right
to operate on the frequencies between the upper end of the cb band and
the lower end of 10 meters plus just about anywhere else they chose.

Whats your opinion on M3's? Do you encorage them or see them as a stain on

I must confess I haven't acquainted myself with M3's. Is this a test
free amateur license?

Also known as the M3/CB Fools' Licence - any 6 year old, having
no previous knowledge or experience of Ham Radio can attend a
weekend course and leave on the Monday with a licence.

The scheme is a complete joke and held in widespread
derision by any self-respecting _REAL_ Brit Radio Ham.

No 6 year old has the mathematical toolset to deal with
even the most simple of algebraic transpositions that are
necessary to deal with problems involvng Ohm's Law.

The M3 is a CB licence, nothing more, nothing less.

It's purpose is to fill the coffers of a Brit publishing
company, the RSCB - The Radio Society for Citizen's Band.
