O.k., Here's where I got the "nonsensical" idea that 10m is best used only for the excellent DX openings it provides. My "Elmer" who shall remain...
All I was saying is that when I was studying for my license it was considered to be "poor operating practice" to use 10m for local contacts, not...
I am obviously mistaken! Further comment is neither desired nor will it be responded to.
I do not believe I said that there is a "national prohibition or restriction" on using 10 meters, or any other HF band/frequency, at any time,...
here, here!!! :d :d
Where did I "violate the rules"? My response wasn't meant to be "pissing in your Post Toasties", I simply don't know what your level of "reddio"...
I think you should keep your "88", not as a wheel chock or boat anchor, as long as it still works, just keep it in the band from 26.965-27.405...
IDK about the rock stations, but it sure would close down 100% of the "holier than thou" (religious) broadcast stations in my area!!! :D :D
Mike, I really hate to disappoint you, but both the amateur radio operators and the more knowledgeable "free-banders" who go that far in...
I would disagree with that, except that the "voluntary license" really isn't, at least it isn't if you want to do anything that's really fun!! :D :D
Well, since the C.B. "service" has a "blanket license", (everyone has it, it's just not "on paper", "in your wallet", or hanging on your wall),...
Okay, maybe I'm mistaken, or maybe that's just the "local practice" in this area, (Idaho). I just know that the hams in my area (mostly) consider...
That's a dirty rotten shame, maybe if he'd heeded the advice from someone who had told him that his radio wasn't "legal" to be operated in the "11...
I didn't say that there are none, just that there aren't that many. Around here it is considered "poor operating practice" to use 10 Meters, even...
Actually the FCC, DOD, and a few other agencies have "reserved" quite a few of the "free-band" 27.406-28.000 frequencies as being "critical to...
I agree, giving directions to a "car" that turns out to have a 70' trailer attached to it could be a disaster. That said, most commercial trucks...
I've never considered that giving directions to a truck driver has any "business purpose" behind it, it's simply a courtesy extended to a...
"One foot in the grave and one on the gas, well there's too much traffic and I can't pass" !!! Oops, that's right, most of the trucker crowd is...
Mike, You have to "make" the time if you want something :) and when you want it enough you'll make the time to do it! You may just...
"ChickenMan": One of the things that you're likely to find if you do get the ham "ticket" is that on 10 Meters, there are not a lot of hams that...
