I and a-lot of other drivers and owner/operators just want to thank the members of this site for putting up with C W ( rover Radio ray etc) and all his garbage.
Thanks for allowing him to spew his hatred of truckers here and not on the trucker boards. (It was getting old quick)
The story is the same where ever he goes ex railroad employee bashing truckers
Old ham operator dishing cbers same old story "YAWN"
so again thanks! You are all so tolerant of him and his many full length FCC warning letters etc.
Again thanks
I still have a question How do you steal something you don't own? The 10 meters frequencies he thinks he owns.
Has anything really changed? you can still buy Export radios,the FCCis relaxing the rules on MFG of Amps, FCC will be allowing voice shortly on his 10 meter "cw" only portion of the band,Morse code as been declaired "just another mode", CW will be shortly removed from the testing to get a higher class lic. So what did ray win with all this ranting? not much I suppose.

FCC will be allowing voice shortly on his 10 meter "cw" only portion of the band,


That is news to me, you have anything to back that statement?
I really do not see the CW sub-bands going anywere.
As for relaxing the Code test requirement to allow new Op`s onto HF, I agree with it 100%
But there are way to many guys that use the mode (cw) every day to even think it will just fade away.
As for Jerry, well he can be a bit of a thorn at times, but he is right in that the intrusions should not be occurring on Ten Meters, regardless of what "group" of users do it.

Section 2.803(a)2 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules'') for
marketing an unauthorized radio frequency device in the

SS-122, which has not been certificated for sale or use in
the United States.

promulgated pursuant to this section.'' Section 2.803(a)(1)
of the Commission's Rules provides that:

``no person shall sell or lease, or offer for sale or

It's not that anybody "owns" band allocations, but there are international treaties in place on how the bands are to be used. To some extent, countries are left to enforce those agreements how they see fit. Even many (if not all...haven't looked it up lately) band sub-allocations are guidelines, but not hard and fast rules. Anyway, a lot of the FCC restrictions on 11m are rules I don't agree with, but I really think that staying off of 10 meters if you're not licensed is a good idea.
 
Ray keep posting letters that you find on the sites.
It does nothing to change the fact that truck stops and others still sell export radios and amps etc.
And as for the band end allocations all you have to do is read the ham sites. Canada did it and now it is in the rule making process here.
I must also agree that a unlicensed cber should stay out of the 10 meter bands or for that matter the 12 meter band.
My problem is with hams like Ray always gloating and posting the full FCC letters but NEVER showing the other side of the coin HAMS GET BUSTED too so list them also they are not perfect as the lack of postings might suggest.
Show all or show none.What's good for the goose is also good for the gander.
Before anyone asks I am a ham also
As of today SAPP bros still sell's the radios in question. and plans on taking the case to court as I was told by a SAPP bros manager, Most likely all the citation will do is to get a sign put up Saying these radios are 10 meter ham radios and require a license to operate. that is what most truck stops are doing now.
I agree there is a small problem but I sit here close to major highways and monitor the bands and hear no incursions into 10 meters that ray always talks about. I have been listening all winter.
