Do you have proof?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I couldnt even type that with a straight face

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

 

Well not all qrz members are the self appointed radio police that some would identify as a Hitler type of person.

Just remember that not all Hams are not radio police. Some will actually be quite helpful to us CB people in getting the stuff or technical information we are looking for.

But there are always going to be the select Hams that are going to do anything in their power to try and get CBers in trouble. Some like to hang on the CB bands and look for people with big powerful CB bases and get them narrowed down to a location and sick the FCC people on them.

They don't want the CBers to have more then 4 watts because they we might beable to actually communicate more then across the city. They think that they should be the only ones entitled to extra power.

They want to think they are Gods in the radio world because they have a card that says so.

The Hams that could careless will actually carry on a convo with you on the amature bands as long as you act like a human and not transmit abunch of crap and backwoods lingo.

 

Not all of us hams are nazi's. Many of have roots in CB and then got our ham license as our interest in electronics expanded. Heck I still use CB for trips and have a few friends that I talk with on lower 38 regularly (not using ham equipment though!)

But with that said the warnings on this thread are quite real. There are ham nazi's that have nothing better to do with their time then patrol the ham/CB bands for potential violators. These are normally old retired people with no life but their time on the radio's. They like to to drag others into their miserable lives by harassing others on the air and on the Internet. Some we refer to as "Whackers". These are the type that dress up their vehicles with rotating lights and antennas to give the impression of being with law enforcement.

To read more about these pathetic hams google "hamsexy". The main page has a history of whackers as they are spotted. And believe me they are a HUGE embarrassment to the ham community.

Stay out of the 10 meter band (anything above 28.000mhz) and you'll be fine.

 

Not going to happen here.......

 

A lot of us hams got our start with the CB radio service, and as has been said, we're not all busybodies eager to stick our noses in everybody elses business. The fact is, however, that there are some radios that are not even legal to be used as CB radios in the states. The Connex radios are among them. There are even some state police and DOT personnel that know they're illegal--and confiscate them.

It isn't even the people who may inadvertantly transmit on the 10 meter ham band that get Amateur radio operators upset. Its the people that have these 'peaked up' radios that splatter their signal all over the band, and that happens when those radios are peaked up to their limit.

As I said, we're not all busybodies and nazis, but when you and you alone splash signals all over the CB and the 10 meter band by using your 'peaked to the max' hi power radio, we get a little upset.

Keep it between the ditches, people.

 

Well said, Golden Eagle, well said.

 

This is why some of us use competent shops to get our radios properly aligned with a peak job. not one of my radios splatters but then I did not have them done by Radio Active Radios or some of the other hack job shops. Heck some guys read on the net about clipping this or that to make a radio better. I laugh my butt off when I here about people clipping limiter diodes etc in a radio and think they are king of the hill with their super hack up radio.

But then that is were the problem lies, people believing all these techs that go in a clip this and that and turn this and that and hook it up to a meter and say "Look at that swing"
