UH OH! Man gets $12,500 fine for interference

Its a very tragic situation , The aviation industry being effected by a mere lone rambo with a souped up cb
ready to fly ?

 

This is what happens when you clip modulation limiters, run cheap-sh@t linear amps and over-drive everything. You cause harmonic interference in places you cant even imagine...

 

It was late and I missed that, my mistake.

 

It is noisier, by a lot. I used to be able to reach out for miles on a little 3 channel hand held I had when I was a teenager. I doubt it would work at all today. I just figured out where this repetitive buzzing signal was coming from that interferes with both my CB (no matter the channel I'm on) and my headphones at home. My cheap little cell phone that I bought a few weeks ago. I finally figured it out when I put my hand over the phone when the tone started and it nearly silenced it.

 

It's all good. The Guy probably had no idea he was interfering. But that's not an excuse. I had no idea it could bleed up onto aviation channels I thought it just bled over on the other cb channels. I learned something.

 

Radio signals do lots of really funny things, especially when you get into modifying stuff. And it's really bad in today's world where practically everything electronic is transmitting a signal. Lots and lots of unintentional interference and weird effects. Even the atmosphere and weather affects electronic signals.

 

Yes they do ...

I'm glad they caught the guy. I hope they roll him up, and smoke him good. Next thing they should do is pick a truck stop here and there, and start busting these guys running anything hotter than 25 watts.

Want to talk better? Then get a sideband unit. You can push 20 watts legally talking on sideband. If you peak your Cb up a little, to throw out 10 or 12 watts, that will not hurt enough, to make anyone come looking for you. But these idiots sitting in the Truck Stop, talking 500 feet, and using 200 watts to do it, are idiots, they are breaking the law, and they deserve to be fined out the wazzoooo!

 

25 watts at a truck stop I think it's a bit higher ...
