    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.)

    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!

    Very interesting. They want to violate the 4 amendment and constitutionally don’t have the right to regulate anything that doesn’t cross state lines (see commerce clause of the Constitution). They file it as a fine so they don’t have to go to court. The guy is blocking ch19. I don’t...

    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...

    Apartment Woes - Help Me Please

    I have never done it, but..... Have you considered joining a local club and seeing if you can setup something on their tower?

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

    Absolutely nothing! I didn’t even listen to people on the local repeaters. I turned it off and did other things that needed doing. This week I hope to get the repeaters organized and I will be driving on Wednesday so.....

    VX-7R vs VX-8R

    That is what sold me on the VX-8R. If you NEVER see yourself using those features..... Here is one additional thought. I bought the latest and greatest. I will continue to run this HTuntil it dies (or I need a new function). If I buy a second HT, it will be the same as the first to...

    military "random wire" HF or lo-band backpack antenna

    If it is thick enough to look like coax it is too large to be what I am thinking.

    Amateur radio & computer

    It looks like I am not the first person to think about his idea. It looks like it is very functional. It looks like the companies which are doing this (non-military), are charging more and I would be getting less.:blink: :confused: :mad:
