    Wisdom from the good folks at the FCC!!!

    "If somebody has a bad heart, they can plug this jack in at night as they go to bed and it will monitor their heart throughout the night. And the next morning, when they wake up dead, there'll be a record." --Mark S. Fowler, FCC Chairman :? :? :? :?

    long rant but good read

    This is long and I found it on an unrelated site but thought it says a lot about a lot of things ! Warning: Below you will find a pure, unadulterated rant. It is (mostly) unrelated to the traffic on this list including the message I replied to, except that when taken together simultaneously...

Should have happened 30 years ago is all I can say, that bunch on qrz beats all I have ever seen, they really are giving ham a...

    FCC Approved CB ?

    This may not be the best section to ask this question but, we are always yelling back and forth about exports and the rules, so I think it fits in maybe. Anyway does anybody still build a 40 channel, am , ssb, 4 watt - 12 watt FCC approved base radio anymore? I know there is still a few mobile...

    (Admin's\ Owner ) The amateur call sign section!

    I strongly disagree with this section, this forum has always been open to all members not just a special few (or a few that think their special). The only thing this kind of stuff does is drive more wedges between hams and cbers, the war is big enough without the forum hosting it!!!!!!

    What if ?

    Here's one for uin's to ponder on, what if someone brought back one of the old names in radio, lets say Halicrafters for example, and started a small factory here in the states somewhere. They start out with two radios, say a FCC legal 40 channel am, and a second SSB model, good radios with all...

    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...

    A long read but it explains a lot of things!

    I found this on another site but thought it was a good read Joe Tomasone (AB2M) November 23, 2004 Yes, yes, I know. You've heard this before. It's been pronounced when FM was introduced, screamed from the mountaintops when no-code came to be, and continues even today with BPL...

    Echo?

    Not trying to be smart but why does anyone want echo? Most of the time those that use it can't be understood, it just adds to the noise when the band is crowded. But I really would like for someone to explain it to me, in a nice way guys, don't cuss me out cause I really am trying to understand...

    The old FCC issued cb call signs

    Does anyone know of a data base that still has the old callsigns that the FCC used to give out, just wondering if they were still around or if they threw them away when they went to no license?

    CB and the FCC

    Much has been said about cb not getting anymore freqs, that this just would not happen, but , think about this for a minute, in 1996 the FCC added 14 freqs, channels, the frs then in 2000-2002 they added 5 more in murs. All of this may not interest some because 11 meters was not expanded, but...

    A NUTTER COAX QUESTION?

    I have heard some guys talking about running long runs of cable say up the side of a mountain, using 75 ohm coax for the longest part of the run, with a specific length of 50 ohm at each end. Not sure on lengths but the thinking is that 75 ohm is cheaper and the runs at each end with 50 is...
