    Question.

    One more thought, while your out with that cam better be careful where you stick it, being that them semi's are quite a bit bigger than your car or pickup you might end up with more problems than him talking on ten! :lol:

    Question.

    Here we go again with this I'm a ham and I will take your pic and get you fined trash, BULL HOOYEY, I don't care what class ticket you got and how far you chased said trucker you don't have the authority to do anything other than tell on him, then its just doubtfull that the fcc will act on one...

    CB and the FCC

    As far as myself I have legal access to all the freqs I will ever need, but I can see past the air intake located between my eyes. You can push your agenda all you want and the only thing you will get in the end is enemies. The whole problem is that the establishment (fcc, ham, gov, whatever)...

    CB and the FCC

    Ok lets go at it at this angle. If your neighbor came over and asked, CW may I use your rake that you have in the shed to level my yard with, your answer is going to be no I bought that rake 30 years ago to level my own yard and someday I may want to rake again so you can't use it? This is...

    CB and the FCC

    CW you still didn't answer my question, I have that same list here and had it for several years. My question was who still uses the freqs, when, where, and what mode, I didn't want the list, like I said before during ww2 the military used parts of what is now in the cb freqs, that dosen't mean...

    CB and the FCC

    CW, 11175 is the busiest of the Aircom freqs with many others of course, some up in the 20 somethings not sure about 26 somethings but guess there could be some also. But I have got a question for you, in the area between 27.405 and 28.000 can you find anyone that uses these freqs? I know that...

    What is meant by "I just got down"?

    Seems to me that (Talk to you latter) or ( Good day ) or even I'm clear makes much more sense than trying to be a Puff Daddy wantabe. I just got down is just plain stupid!!!!!!!!!!!

    CB and the FCC

    CWM said something about cb's being nothing but toys, I hate to bring it to everyone's attention but all of our radios are nothing but playthings, like it or not in the scheme of important things in the world, CB, HAM, FRS, GMRS, MURS, and any of the others that I have forgotten, are way way...

    EchoLink

    I fail to understand, radio transceiver is a device to send and receive rf signals through the air, if you hook it up to the inet why not throw the radio away, better yet just don't buy it to start with and hook up your computter and talk on any of the many chat programs and save yourselfs a...

    CB and the FCC

    You can buy an yaesu ft2800 2 meter rig new for around 155 bucks, then what? The area where I live there is very little activity on 2 meters, even the repeaters sit unused not for hours but for days. There is still far more activity on cb than there is on the ham bands even with the slow dx...

    Heres one to ponder on awhile

    Why? Why not? I know that nobody would really want to do this it is more of a what would it take if you did type of thing, just for the heck of it.

    FCC: Out of touch with the global community?

    CW # 4 defines amateur as being for communications. cb is defined as being for guess what communications in part 95 of the rules. I still say that there is no language anywhere in the rules of cb or ham that define them as a HOBBY. If you say one is then by the virtues of that statement...

    Heres one to ponder on awhile

    I know I know this is not feasible, but I was just wondering, what all would have to be changed in a say 23 channel radio to get it to rx and tx the murs freqs? Like I said I know this would take a lot of work and would cost more than its worth but it could be done, and if you were going to do...

    FCC: Out of touch with the global community?

    CWM WROTE ??????????????When did I say Amateur Radio didn't have hobby aspects? You didn't, thats just it you are always harping about how ham is a hobby but cb isn't because it has no legal ground, the point I was making nowhere do you find Amateur as a legal hobby. But as...

    FCC: Out of touch with the global community?

    Retailers Breakin the Law?

    Re: o This is why I say that everyone knows what is going on with the export radios, cause I just don't see these companys sneaking that many items past customs. Were talking thousands of radios, great big box loads seems they would be easy to find as they come off the ships if the FCC was...

    Retailers Breakin the Law?

    CWM wrote CB radio certainly is not the most important radio "service" we have. Neither is Amateur, tho higher up in the relative importance of service to the community. This is your opinion, and you know what they say about opinions don't you??????? Kinda like me saying my Dodge...

    FCC: Out of touch with the global community?

    We did kinda steal this thread a little, the only point I was trying to make is the 150 mile rule is just one of many things the fcc has done that is way out of touch But they are your goverment at its best, and being so the only thing that motivates them is MONEY, or how they can sell something...
