(OT) : PONG RadioGuy "Troll Story"s

This is getting interesting. Tell me more. In the U.S., the 420 to 430 mhz band is assigned to the police, public safety, and I think even some businesses north of line A. FCC rules say a ham is NOT allowed to transmit on those frequencies while physically located north of line A. FCC rules say that the same ham IS allowed to transmit with full power on those frequencies while physically located south of line A as long as the ham south of line A does not cause any interference to the licensed services located north of line A. Questions: If I'm just a little south of line A and transmitting *ham ragchews at a certain power level where the police in the next county north of line A can not hear me on their radios, am I transmitting legally or illegally? I say legally. BUT Say I make no change in my transmitter whatsoever and the police in the next county happen to buy newer more sensitive radios and can now just happen to hear me transmitting over them. With me unaware they can now hear me. Am I transmitting legally or illegally. I made no changes whatsoever in my transmitter. How can what was perfectly legal for me to do now be illegal for me to do just because the police not in my area bought different newer radios that happen to pick up radio transmissions better than their old ones??? Furthermore, if a police officer sees a crime or speeder in his own county, he is allowed to follow them into the next county and arrest them there. What if he crosses into the county south of line A and transmits from there, but hears me. As far as I know, he isn't legally allowed to transmit from south of line A. However, despite a lot of hams I see posting on the internet claiming that hams have primary status in the 420 to 430 mhz band, I know that hams actually only have secondary status in that band, anywhere in the country. However, I don't think local police have anyathority in that band south of line A, although I might be wrong about that. After all, the FCC does say that even hams south of line A may not interfere with police north of line A. But what if that police officer travels south of line A where I'm sure he's not allowed to transmit from? I think it's only the federal government (and maybe some others) who have primary status in that band, anywhere in the country. I'll have to check up on that. Another one of RadioGuy's absurd "Troll Story"s -aka- 'war and peace' on the internet ~ RHF |
