    legal question, jamming

    it is not in the normal ham bands. I am assuming the law still applies. this is why I want the exact wording. (Not the summery I learned for the test.)

    legal question, jamming

    Can someone point me to the exact legal phases that say it illegal to jam someone's signal?

    Remember: You MUST allow your Station to be Inspected!

    Do the signals from Mexico stop at the US boarder? Do US officials have the right to go into Mexico and inspect stations there? Or lets ignore MX, they have good relations with the USA. How about the signals in Iran or Russia? I work for a Federal Agency. We get sued so some lawyers...

    Talked to WalMart Today on a HT?

    That might get you arrested by the men in white coats if you do it in the deli section.:blink: ALWAYS, ALWAYS no the regs. for the Freq. you are transmitting on. Unless you want to cause trouble, there is no reason to go back and talk to Walmart. They will not understand and they will...

    Remember: You MUST allow your Station to be Inspected!

    The car analogy is wrong how you use it. If you are driving on your own land, the local, state, and fed have no right to come inspect your car for violations, you can drive what ever speed you want to drive. The moment you drive it on to local roads, it is the problem of the local authority...

    Remember: You MUST allow your Station to be Inspected!

    Replacing the Rubber Ducky. Which Antenna?

    There are some bad choices out there. The one that comes to mind is about 2 inches long. The others I have tried appear to about the same.

    Radio to listen to foreign stations

    I know the other members here are trying to help, but you may want to backup a step or two. What does she want to listen to? If she is wanting to hear standard FM programming, shortwave is probably not the answer. Short wave only covers the short wave band. The channels change in daytime...

    Seasons Greetings

    Salt and pepper say Hi. (Seasons greetings) To be honest, I feel like Charlie Brown Christmas at the begging of the special. I am in a general bah humbug mood.

    What have you done in/on ham radio this week?

    I did a good bit of listening and very little talking on the local repeaters.

    What have you done in/on ham radio this week?

    I didn’t get the memories organized the way I wanted to. Maybe that will happen this week. I APRS most of the way across 4 states going both ways. I also made a few contact on the local repeaters as I drove, but to be honest in the areas where I expected to have good signal the traffic was...
