"On this point you are wrong. Read the line 'but still require that they design such products to avoid operation on CB Radio Service frequencies." The FCC has clarified their position on the matter by passing this R&O." Two words: Physically impossible. Post a link to an amp (or radio)...

The commission finally admits that the law regarding 10 meter amplifiers as written is vague. They have agreed to change it. As many said time and time again on this forum. This admitted vagueness is likely the reason why the FCC never forced it to court, as there was a chance the court...

I would hope that the FCC field agents would not be playing along with someone to make them jump through hoops. That sounds less than professional.

We don't know what the relationship to the lady and the owner of the equipment is. Maybe only she and the owner know. But I would not advise anyone to turn off someone elses electrical equipment without their consent, if they have your permission to use the premises. What if she presses the...

'I don't buy the argument that operating a pirate radio station constitues reasonable use of a leased property. If that's the case, then landlords have no ability to evict criminals at all.' They cannot evict because the tenant is not using the property reasonably. There must be a breach of...

Assuming Craig is a landlord of the offender, if Landlords were responsible for their tenants criminal acts, practically everyone of them would be subject to jail. Every apartment complex in California has at least one illegal drug user and quite often at least one drug dealer. Landlords have...

Fun? Ham radio is about education, technology, disaster assistance, and astronauts. Fun? I don't think so. And besides, you are a CB low life. Riley will get you yet! You just wait!

Many hams will die thinking they did the right thing by fighting that windmill of evil. But they did not minister to recruit more hams. As such, they failed in their number one task- to convince others to partake in the sport. They failed to realize that evil exists in all sports. If you are...

The slow death of this hobby is directly related to a misappropriation of Ham time and energy. There are thousands of hams who have died knowing that their hobby is likewise dying. There are thousands more to go. These hams spent thier dying days fighting frivolous causes relating to code/no...

ARRL is not immune from lawsuits. Conversely, they actually sued the FCC over that very linear law claiming that it unfairly infringed on legal ham use. The ARRL lost. Excerpts from the case were posted on this forum late last year.

Any time you write a law, you risk taking away some freedoms from the law abiding. Here, the FCC wants to avoid infrininging on the legal use of the radios and legal use of the bands. It's never easy, and this particular law, as written is confusing (how many times does someone cite to it in...

One of the reasons the amateur bands are less crowded is that their are far fewer hams than there were a few years back. I hope the FCC or ARRL is not contributing to this as we a;; know from experience that old time hams are not always that friendly to newbies- which is a terrible shame. Some...

True, although he drank wine with them.

Nothing wrong with hanging with criminals. Jesus Christ hung with the worst.

Let's see. A 100KW jammer owned and operated by Uncle Sam. I wonder if it would cause interferance with any other frequencies? Might a child get cancer from the strong RF? Ain't gonna happen.

There are no restrictions on the sale of 10 meter amplifiers in Canada. If you disagree, show me the "Part 97" for Canada. Canada only outlaws the use on 11 meters. But has no restrictions on the sale.

I agree with Mole.

It's hard to beat city hall. But that doesn't mean city hall is right. Most people arrested, are never charged. Arrest to conviction rates are very low nationwide. All this means is that when the government accuses you of a crime, the chances are you will never be charged. Govenmental...
