![]() What is amazing though is, this is an actual law!http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2909.04 However, this does not mean that a ham radio operator could be charged for doing so while transmitting a signal. It does mean that a person who deliberately causes disruption to public services, with something like an explosive device, most certainly will be. the tv news said that if a cop or resident calls an emergency number on their home phone or cell phone and can't get through because there is rfi by someone transmitting on a radio or someone else talking on the same frequency the person or cop's phone is using. they can be arrested under this law for interfering with emergency communicatiomns. Now that sure sounds like they're talking about rfi. If it's only means people using explosive device to blow up a cop's cell phone or resident's cell phone, how is that person going to be able to dial it when it's in pieces and why would they be expecting an answer in such a case? It definitely means rfi. So in Ohio, a ham can no longer legally use the 900 mhz ham, 2.4 ghz or 5.8 ghz bands even though federal law says you can, because someone miight try to dial emergency services and only hear the 900 mhz ham repeaters when they call or the ham on the input frequncy or simplex. Furthermore, the news said any rfi. Again the news specificically mentioned "radio frequency interference". Which means even if the ham is operatung 2 meters, 70 centimeters or hf bands and the residents' phone or cop's phone is overloaded from no sheilding, the ham is the guilty party guilty of committing an illegal act while the part 15 drvices without any shielding are ptotected by laweven though federal law says the exact opposire of the state law. And no, they did not say cb and ham are protected. They're only protected if a cop or resident is using the cb or ham radio to make an emergency call and someone inteferes with it. |
