A fellow works and gets himself a full priveledge Amateur Radio license, puts up a 20 meter antenna, has a HF radio and a amplifier capable of busting through the pile up on "14.275" to talk to somebody and all he gets from you guys are dispersions cast on him, his operating characteristics, his equipment, who he talks to and, how he talks.
You guys are just a bunch of "Player Haters".
First off, if you Canucks up there could / would take care of your own problems, Karol would not be an issue for the rest of us.
There is just one Karol Madera but there are thousands of idiots QRM-ing the band and forwarding others to "Hate-Karol" websites; it's you who spead his message around more than Karol himself.
Secondly, WHO died and left you in charge of what the other fellow runs to make his hook-up; as long as he does not interfer with YOU, it does not matter that his amp may have been made by Quasimoto on the Left Bank and named "Sue"; find out where your nose ends and the other fellows begins.
Third, How can YOU prejudge or suppose the fact that, he was a "Free-bander" and tell him to go back there; I never saw mention of any Free-band activity until you bought it up.
In conclusion, *I* think you should grind your "Hate Karol" axes on the Zed, not here nor, should you make fun of an operator who worked any other legal Amateur using legal methods. You are doing this to further your own agendas or assuage your guilt for not having fixed the problem by now. *I* also think your Canadian system for dealing with radio issues needs to be fixed.

QRN said:OMG! You worked VE7KFM aka Karol Madera. He is a whack job and CAUSES all kinds of QRM with his "broadcasts" that are anti-american and pro al-qaeda. Tune into 14.275 sometime and have a listen.He calls himself Radio Canada. :roll: Hams on both sides of the border have been lobbying Industry Canada to get this guy off the air. Anytime he finds someone on the net bad mouthing him he emails them and threatens legal action etc. He claims to be an attorney but the truth is that he was never admitted into the British Columbia bar association for character reasons. I have know a few really sleazy lawyers so what does that tell you.
This is not his site despite the web address but have a look
www.ve7kfm.com/
Just how much on that site is 100% fact is unknown but a LOT of it is especially the on air antics and his threats against people.I can swear to the last part. :roll: He emailed me with his crap and a loooooog work of text entitled "The life of Riley" in referance to Riley Hollingsworth. :roll:

You are on the right track for sure. Now go apply for a vanity call...try K1MAN, it's open these days I think.
In case you didn't seek that VE whacko out intentionally...14.275 and the nonsense that goes on there and the things VE7KFM does are NOT looked upon in a good light by amateur operators. It might sound like business as usual coming from 11m, but it is not accepted amateur operating practice.
Please do spend time listening to how the rest of the world operates and don't add to that steaming pile on the 20m band.
When the hams speak poorly of CB, it's the behavior/language VE7KFM and others like him exhibit that they are talking about...which is pretty much just like CB.
If that sort of insanity is what you are looking for in radio, please, just keep to the free bands with that.
