fcc cracking down

"I work for the S.O. and IF there was any truth to this story there would have been a conviction"

The officer died of a massive heart attack which according to the coroner was induced by the struggle with the ham who was resisting arrest. It was the coroner who declared the officers death a homicide. Said arrest originating from the part 90 jamming being done by the ham. Good lawyers and lack of enough evidence to convict does not translate into innocence. Had the officer not been in an intense struggle he may have later had a less severe heart attack where he could have been saved and retired to a quiet life. Big money on legal defense got the charges dropped by claiming the officer would have died sooner or later anyway. The more you defend the ham the deeper you dig yourself a hole.

Your words I quoted above are such a farce it boggles the mind that you even spoke them. Go ask the sheriff you work for if your words are correct. I have no doubt he can relate to you many accounts where the person was guilty yet got off. The lack of convictions in those cases does not mean there was no truth to the stories. Here is an example for which we have video proof. Black panthers threatening to club people unless they voted for obama. Holder states he will not convict 'his people', dropping the case. You are saying this lack of convictions make the video evidence all a lie? According to you there is no truth in the video record because there were no convictions.

 

This story is 10yrs old (2002). And there is no more info on this case. It's unfounded and maybe a Hoax. He renewed his license in 2005 3 yrs after said offense. It also says nothing about a Ham being involved.

WHAT "high horse"? I simply explained how it is done. I can't help it you don't like it.

 

"It also says nothing about a Ham being involved"

The mention of the guy being a ham was interestingly enough on the site EHAM.net.

"It's unfounded and maybe a Hoax."

The author of the post about WB9DIG on eham is K9GLN, a police officer. Possibly he is posting a hoax since you would need access to internal records to investigate further. No way to prove more with only the internet and google as the only search method.

"The man had a history of interfering with police radio frequencies"

The entire point of my posts was to say enough with the badgering, warning, lecturing on points of law, and in general treating CB'ers as lower class citizens. I have for decades listened to hams jam CB channels and laugh and joke about it, never once considering that CB is just as lawful as as any other radio service. Meaning CB'ers have the same legal rights of not being interfered with as any other band. They also deserve to be treated with the same respect any ham would show another ham. However in hundreds of posts on this site this is not the case. Overwhelmingly the opposite is true.

"The man had a history of interfering with police radio frequencies"

OTHER than K9gln's post there is NO FCC record of this ...

I know since I work in the radio shop at our S.O. IF this happened here THIS repeat offender would not got away with it here .... We have 6 hams in our 2 shops .... 4 are extra class all have GROL's

They also deserve to be treated with the same respect any ham would show another ham.

AND .... for the most part they are ..... sorry but I'm not posting or bad mouthing MOST people on this forum maybe some are ....

Again there is no trail to follow ....

 

Not just because it's Easter..........








Matthew 5:44

King James Version (KJV)

44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

 

Yep easter .....

Love the candy bunnys

Hsppy easter Mike ..

 

Nope, you are exaggerating, which is a typical ham tactic when talking about the fcc coming down on cb radio use.

You are exaggerating when you talk about how stepping into the ham bands without a license is the same as breaking into someones house.

The fact is that the LAW agrees with me as B&E is a felony, while Cbers stepping into Ham territory is a misdemeanor.



Some hams get all in an up roar when it comes to power use also. Cry me a river already.

They try to come in and talk about how we are waisting time with trying to get more power out of our systems, by adding amps or getting things done to our radios. They post missinformation about how senseless it is get try and get 1 or 2 more S units out of our radios.

Take two people with exact same setups except for that one is putting our 2s more then the other. Place them 15 miles away and tell me which one is going to be heard better and better understood.

perfect example was last week. Another driver and I were headed to a place in Manitoba. He was aways behind me. Anyway I got to our unload point and there was a change.

I am putting out some good power so I decided to try and use my radio to let him know rather then spend a ton of money using my cell phone (bouncing off a canadian tower). I called out to him and he came back. I could hardly understand what he was saying but I knew he could hear me since he answered back. I gave him the important info. I talked to him later, back in the yard at the shop and he said he could hear me loud and clear even though he was 20 miles away.

But anyway, I am going to be doing some tweaking on his radio this coming week. It WILL make the difference between him being a slight murmer and me being able to understand him and 15-20 miles away.

First I am going to go through his coax and antennas then I am going to add a little more swing to his radio.

 

" you are exaggerating when you talk about how stepping into the ham bands without a license is the same as breaking into someones house. "

It IS common RAT if you don't have a right there then don't go ....
That said ....

RADIO laws are a bit different than civil or criminal law ...UNTIL you cause a problem to emergency communications .... THEN it can become criminal ...

"They post missinformation about how senseless it is get try and get 1 or 2 more S units out of our radios. "

Not senseless but is it worth the trouble ..

BTW ....

Happy Easter rat .....
