you know the anti key clowns are "technically" correct. free banding is
illegal.
ill say it agian....free banding is illegal. now to the part that the antis
dont recognise,or refuse to recognise. the feds could, if they were so
inclined....rid the air waves of linears,export radios etc. the purveyors
of these products are on the internet 24-7-365!!! they are openly selling 11
meter linears,freeband radios etc,......and openly offer
conversions/modifications etc that are expressly forbidden by fcc rules.
....... now isnt this a strange situation,kinda like the crack house on the
corner.....that the local police know is there.....but it never gets busted.
now my friends......lets pause to consider why this is the case......

i submit that the truth of the situation is complex,and cannot merely be
explained upon the basis of lack of funding.....i mean that in most cases
the mere mailing of a "cease and desist" letter threatening a $10,000.00
fine would be sufficient to stop the sales of these items by most
businesses. i know it would me...if i were involved in the sale of these
items. you may ask "ok smart guy,whats the real reason these things arent
being done?" well lets consider......the electronics business is a huge
concern. billions of dollars are spent upon this equipment world
wide.(yes,i said billions) how do i know this? i talk to free band radio
operators from all over the world. canada,england,austrailia,south
america,central america.....quite a market ehh??.........now who does this
money support??? it supports our friends in weaker regimes,with weaker
economies.
1) SOUTH KOREA
2)THE PHILIPENES
3)TAIWAN
4)MALAYSIA
these are just to name a few. these regimes(our friends) need this money to
help their economies. if the fcc eliminated the supply,and the end user of
these products....our "friends" would suffer.
so whats the up-shot of all this?? why its the oldest political game in
the world.
its the same game our officials play with the drug trade. make token
busts,and deplore the illegality of the trades.....while at the same time
allowing enough traffic to continue to support our friends....im sorry if
the truth hurts...but there it is.....so all you guys worried that the fcc
is gonna "shut you and your little station down"...well mabey a token 2-3 of
you a year. but that leaves the rest of us to our own devices. have
fun,dont get too ridiculous with the wattage,stay out of 10 meters....and
youll likely never have a problem. the key is....dont "be" a
problem......and you wont have any problems!!!!
the rest of you can argue the legalities till your all blue in the
face.....but deep down.....you know what im saying is true.
now,people like me that will risk pointing this out...are most likely going
to get busted for sure....cause im an "irritant" to the wrong people.....but
you know.....i really enjoy being a pain in the ass. elpasogunslinger

Kenneth,

The problem with export radios is they are perfectly legal for Hams to own and operate on the Ham bands. I don't think it's really a money issue. Right now there is nothing illegal about anyone owning one of these rigs, or selling them that I know about at the moment. The FCC however takes a different view with amplifiers, so if a CBer has an amplifier they assume it was used even if they never saw it connected. The legality part comes in to play when the radio is operated, either on it's intended Ham bands, by a duly licensed Ham, or illegally outside of those bands by anyone.

It may eventually get to the point where the buyer must produce a valid license to get the radio. I know several Ham Radio mail order outlets that routinely ask for a callsign at least when buying a rig, and I have been to several Ham Radio swaps where it is a POSTED POLICY that NO RADIO TRANSMITTERS will be awarded as a prize to anyone unless they are licensed. The upcoming swap in Fort Wayne IN this November is one of those with such a policy. I have also seen some upset CBers stomp off at some Hamfests when they tried to buy a used HF rig, where the seller asked to see either their license, and the FCC does provide a wallet size one with every full size one, or a valid callsign, and they couldn't produce either one.

So by requiring a license to buy a rig would help choke off the flow of the export rig for illegal use on 11m while still making it relatively easy for legally licensed users to buy them. I doubt many Hams would take a risk selling a rig to an unlicensed person if the result would be loss of their own license too, so the dealing in used radios would soon dry up as well. Normal businesses would have even more to loose. Also requiring a license gets rid of the nonsense where somebody can claim they got the radio for somebody else as a "gift", and they have no plans to use it themselves.

If you are suggesting the people ignore the law to help the economies
of third-world countries, that's lame.

I agree that the FCC enforcement lately has been equally lame, but
I also understand that they are in the middle of cleaning up that
LPFM fiasco, as well as several other more important issues. Also
consider that the majority of the RF spectrum is allocated for uses
other than radio communication, and that the FCC is somewhat under-
funded for widespread enforcement efforts. So anyone that chooses
to ignore the laws is really just playing Russian Roulette with the
FCC -- if you play long enough, the odds will catch up to you.

I am also aware, through inside information, that enforcement efforts
are going to be stepped up in the wake of the WTC attacks, in an
effort to reduce or eliminate the possibility that terrorists are
using radio to communicate locally and globally. Although they are
looking for terrorists, they will no doubt take the opportunity to
reduce the number of 'casual' pirates in order to make the task easier.
Since this effort also involves treaties with other governments, we
can expect an increase in enforcement worldwide. After the terrorist
threat has been 'removed', don't expect the FCC to slack up on the
enforcement issue again.

This is a list taken from the FCC's wireless telecommunication
database of all site licensees using frequencies from 26.000 to 28.000
MHz - the so-called 'freeband'. It clearly shows that these freqs are
not unused or abandoned. Every callsign can be looked up and verified.
Some sites use more two or more frequencies. Frequencies within the
Citizens Band were excluded from the list.

Since for reasons of national security our government is not disclosing in detail it's efforts to locate and identify Terrorists so you, nor the general public, has any idea one way or the other how large, or small, the FCC's participation is in the overall effort to locate them. However it does seem very foolish to ignore the FCC's monitoring resources, and it would be a safe bet that their effort is more than simply "self-imposed and secondary in nature" to other agencies, civilian or military.

I wouldn't discount what he said. Not everyone is free to discuss everything they do. I've personally have worked with people who many years ago worked on ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) devices and systems while in the military, and still don't want to talk about it even now indetail.

You along with others I've spoken to have so quickly forgotten that the US government could be playing the media for dopes by feeding them "miss information" knowing full well how it will get broadcast all over the place. This may as well be part of their war plans. I would not depend on what the media is reporting to much. During the Viet Nam war, from the media reports of government sources, it sounded like we were wining, years later we now know the real truth.

Have you ever been to a FCC field office, and REALLY seen the equipment they use 24 x 7 to monitor the air waves? My brother, who is also a Ham, did. He was totally shocked to see the extensive equipment they use, what they can monitor, record, and how often they do it. The term he used to describe their capabilities was "scary".

Or any where else for that matter. Picking a mess like the freeband would be an easy way to slip out a shorted coded message that would likely go unnoticed by the usual bands of pirates there. Seems like you never can tell what will pop up there like a week ago where people were treated to a BBC news rebroadcast on 27.555 MHz sideband as a means to jam that frequency.

we can expect an increase in enforcement worldwide. After the terrorist
threat has been 'removed', don't expect the FCC to slack up on the
enforcement issue again.

First of all we're not talking about funding a movement to undermine another country's government. We are talking about an alternate method to fund a perfectly legitimate government agency's budget, and the perfectly legal work it does, in such a way as to not draw any unwanted attention to it. If they, the Terrorists, knew somebody was actively looking they would use some other communication method, and thus it would be that much more work trying to locate them. Since the Terrorists can choose to use any means at their convenience to communicate, including radio with their choice of bands (including the 11m band) etc., it would be totally irresponsible if our government did not consider the possibility, and took appropriate measures accordingly.

There are getting to be a fair number of hams who will not 'talk on the

one for the ham bands could very easily find out real quick what being an

Without delving into who might want a 10 meter specific rig with decling

516 due out soon. No channelization, no roger beep, and it might survive
more than a week in your car in pothole season. And it actually receives -

I have an old Wilson (Regency XLH250A) sitting on the shelf in front
of me. The only reason I still have it is because nobody seems to

You raise a good point. With ham tickets pretty easy to get, especially the
VHF codeless ones, it is a minor wonder more don't use it whether the object
of the game is to get off CB or simply widen the horizons a tad. Something
under $25 and some time puts one in your pocket and that is buying the study
guide new. Later tickets are just more of the same.

Granted, getting busted puts you out of the radio biz for a while but that
is true licensed or not. So just for giggles, just what in hell are those
hiding behind a no-license status hiding from??? While we are at it, what
causes the hostility toward legal operation, licensed or not, that is
exhibited by so many? What the hell is the attraction of working another
illegal when no one will ever know about it but you when the ARS has a
well-developed system of QSL bureaus worldwide?

Some years ago my son, about to graduate from high school, asked me why some
of his friends were eating with the freshmen in about March or April. I
replied that graduation would put them into the position of actually having
to compete and really do something so they went into denial mode. Without
being the resident psychological genius here, it sure looks as if that is
happening with CB. Are we so damned afraid of looking like a rookie? I got
my seventh-grade football teams over that bullshit in a big hurry; make all
the mistakes you can: I won't chew on you for anything that makes a remote
bit of sense. Are we scoring ego points or enjoying a hobby? Hell's Bells,
I have been at this for 46 of my 58 years and even made money at it and I

Well, my first license was a real bitch, but they didn't have a
question pool for commercial licenses. I have seen the pool for
this years tech ticket, and I would be really suprised if anyone
-couldn't- pass it (assuming they spend a little time to study).

Just to suggest a possible motive: If these amp contests are any
indication of the illegal attitude (of some), it is a contest to
see who is 'the best'. And in order to be the best in the amateur
community they would need to pass the hardest test, as well as
learn some code. So maybe these same people that want to be the
king-of-the-hill have just chosen to do it in an arena where there
is no real competitive challenge, other than buying the biggest amp.

But I really think it has to do with (1), the lack of understanding
that radio communication is really about 'communication', and (2),
that their competitive nature was nurtured by watching too much
professional wrestling and cartoons (victims of television, the
perfect babysitter).

That's my opinion, subject to revision.

Hi Twistedhed.

The music playing, swearing, high power amps, etc must provide great cover
for the terrorists messages.
Ok, so they may not hear each other above the noise, but neither can anyone
else.

The occational skip conditions provide great chances to talk to their own
country... if it just happens to be running right at the exact time they need
it to.

The fact that the band is available for anyone to listen to, and that 1000s
of people will hear their messages must really make CB the ideal choice for
secret terrorist messages.

The size of a CB and 1KW illegal amp must make them the perfect choice for
hand-held use by terrorists while on a "mission".


What terrorist would want to use telephones, internet, e-mail, and "snail
mail" for reliable, private, long distance communications, when they could
use CB?

Regards,

Brainbuster.

Hi Leland,

I have to agree that there are measures that could be taken to restrict the
flow of equipment into the hands of CBers.
I say "restrict" because, to be honest, you cannot stop it totally. You only
have to look at all the illegal sales that happen every day such as
Cigarettes sold to children, Fireworks sold to children, Illegal porn... the
list goes on.

Once every few years, one of our "Trading Standards" offices will run a
"sting" operation by sending children into a few shops to buy Cigarettes.
They will then make a report on the number of shops that broke the law.
Nothing ever comes of it. It is well known that the law is broken EVERY
DAY, by a large percentage of small shops, but NOTHING gets done.

This time of year, we have a big problem with fireworks. The shops sell them
to children, who then play with them... until someone loses a limb. The
police know it happens, they know the law, they know the death and injury
figures, and they still do nothing. A policeman once said "It's alright...
we did it when we were children", so much for the law protecting the
innocent.
Personally, I believe that public sale of fireworks (read explosives) should
be banned. Once a year, our small town has an incredible outdoor display of
fireworks + lasers (set to music), stage acts, and sideshows. The company
who provide the display also do displays for big international events.
The cost of entering the grounds of the historic building where this is
held is only about £4. As you can imagine, our narrow streets cannot easily
cope, and police must have to be imported from local areas.


So, the question must be: Why are steps not taken? The authorities in both
of our great countries must be aware that more stops could be taken to
reduce illegal sales, but do not put measures in place.

I wonder how much tax the UK government receives from the sale of Cigarettes
to children. I refuse to believe that this could be totally ignored by a
government under pressure to keep income tax down.
It must also be considered that if you ban the shop sales, then "black
market" sales will increase to supply the demand (totally illegal CBs still
become available here). The "Black Market" sales provide no tax for the
goverment, and policing is not cost effective when there is no taxed
alternative.


In my local "free ads" papers, people openly sell illegal CB equipment. Much
of it is even illegal to possess, proof of use is NOT required for
non-approved CBs. It would be easy for the RIS to visit make the call, visit
the people, and seize the equipment.
I have NEVER heard of this happening, and out of the 1000s breaking the CB
rules every year, less than 30 people get busted. Busts usually follow
reports of inteference, and an un-cooperative attitude from the CBer.

I seriously doubt if the RIS has the funding to run an "all out assault" on
illegal CB just for the sake of it. So they direct their resources at
tackling those they know to be causing a problem.
As your country has Licence free CB, then it is possible that they are even
less willing to pay out to police it or add new rules than our "under-funded"
RIS and RA are.

Obviously, funds have to be targetted. Not only is it important that the
action is effective, but also that the public see it as money well spent.
If I was asked whether my government should tackle illegal CB, illegal drugs
(and so drug related burglary), illegal sales to children, or child porn...
It would be a hard choice, but I would start by crossing illegal CB off the
list, it just doesn't compare to the suffering related to the other crimes.

Do you have problems with under-age smoking and Fireworks being used as
childrens toys in the US?

Regards,

Brainbuster.

Yes we do. Just drive any school and have a looksee outside. Making a meaningful dent in the wide spread violation of Part 95 rules here may need that same level of deterent used by some other countries in their "war on drugs", i.e. the shoot the dealers in the head. Dead dealers can't get out of jail, and or pay their fines, and get back in to business once again.

I suspect they would use CB more for local communications than anything else.

Ask yourself how much you really pay attention to what you hear on 11m most of the time. How much of what you do hear really makes any sense most of the time anyway? Do you understand all those conversations, on the different channels, in a foreign language you hear too? We have over 250K people from the middle east living in Dearborn (south west of Detroit) and no small percentage of them use CB Radio. Finally are your really going to notice somebody sending coded signals that at first appearance seem like just another channel control freak jamming the frequency with some weird sound effects?

Hi Peter,

My XYL occasionally speaks to her Uncle Declan in County Cork, "Connecticut" or
her Tio Jorge in Quito, "New Jersey." Thank goodness that CT and NJ are within

Wrong. They shoot them in China, not Cuba. You never heard about the Opium Wars in the early 1900's in China? Cuba supports the drug trade as a means to destabilize the US government and to earn hard currency it needs for import and export trade.

My first reaction to your idea of shooting CB offenders in the head was to
ROTFL... but then I had this terrible thought... what if you was serious,
what if it wasn't a joke.

Even as a CBer, I see many crimes as being more important than illegal CB.
As the majority of the public have nothing to do with CB, and never even
consider it, I seriously doubt if more than a handfull of people see illegal
CB as a priority.

In the UK, we have figures for the number of people killed or injured by
fireworks, speeding or drunk motorists, drugs, accidents in the home,
accidents at work.... the list goes on. My local library has books full of
statistics. Strange how there seem to be no figures for people killed or
injured by illegal CB.

Recently there have been some high profile child abuse cases, where the
children have died, covered in bruises. One had no bedroom, and was made
to sleep in the bath. She died from the cold, covered in bruises. I am NOT
ashamed to say that I cry out loud, and have to change TV channels.
As long as there are children suffering and dying because of people breaking
other laws, I find it impossible to get fired up over illegal CB. It just
doesn't compare. But suggest that child murderers should be shot in the
head, and we could agree on something... Why pay to keep such people alive.

Regards,

Brainbuster.

Nobody is disputing that there are evils in the world, and that some
are worth pursuing with more vigor than others. However using
'relativism' as an excuse to only obey the laws you find it agreeable
to obey is sheer bunk. It's a looters mentality, i.e. "The
authorities have much more important things to do than track down
everyone who goes into this old warehouse through the broken window,
and besides, everyone's doing it".

radio piracy and rulebreaking is a minor offense in comparison to

You say that child beating should take a backseat to
breaking FCC rules??? You are truly a sick person,
you would rather see a CB'r busted over a child beater,
murder, rape suspect being prosecuted, shows what kind
of small troll like world you live in.

Sure you do, you know you want to be able to go up
and say "Hum, Dwight from the FCC, I am here to confiscate
your equipment and give you a NAL. All the while in the

a person in the cross walk, more important crimes happening, yup, you have a

I'll help anyone with an interest in radio, try to prevent the stupid, and
make my views on the illegal known and back off. Why don't I feel scourged?

Lets get straight to the main points... You say:
1. CBers using CB provide cover for terrorists to use it.
2. They will hear each other over the noise, but nobody else will.
3. You "suspect" they use CB for local comms.
4. Terrorists use handhelds.
4. Only terrorists would understand their language.
5. Terrorists also use all other forms of communication.

You seem to have more "knowledge" about terrorist activities than the FBI, I
would be interested to know what experience you base this "knowledge" on.

To try using a large KW signal as cover for a small hand held signal could be
so effective that they would get a greater range from their voices... without
any extra comms tools. Have you tried "talking over" two very powerful
signals using handheld CBs???
To pull off a timed "action" requires a clear, private, and reliable
communication system, not the "hit or miss" of CB.

But, let's face it, if they can hear each other, then someone else could hear
them. So, this leads to the question of "who would understand their
language"....
Do you believe that ALL people from the middle east are terrorists?
Maybe you think that all Muslims are terrorists, or support the murder of
innocent people.
Most Muslims condemned the attack, and hate terrorism. Many of these people
could also end up as victims in a terrorist attack, Bin Laden would not warn
every one of them before an attack.
The terrorists could not assume that anyone speaking their language would
support their actions, because most would not.


The only way to cure what YOU see as the "cover" problem would be to stop
using the frequencies totally... But as you say they also use ALL other types
of comms. The level of use of these services makes a terrorist message like
a needle in a haystack.
So public use of telephones, post, internet, e-mail, and newsgroups
would also need to be stopped. Even newspaper "ads" could be used to pass
coded messages, so this would have to stop.

Do you believe that Americans should let these people terrorise them back to
the stone age??

Regards,

Brainbuster.

You forgot the radio IE: Remember during WWII
the BBC would broadcast to partisans secret
messages. Like Aaron has a long tail, people in
pa have leaking trailer homes, so each message
meant some thing to certain partisan cells.
So maybe that deodorant commercial has
a secret message or restaurant or rug shops
ad has secret messages.

They are two separate hobbies, with different uses.

A CBer is a CBer.... not a "Ham wannabe". Many CBers just want to yak, they
do not care about the technical side of radio or electronics... so the Ham
bands would NOT suit their needs.

Many CBers are also "hams", but still use CB for it's intended purpose...
yakkin'.

Some CBers are ex-hams, who found that the Ham bands were not want they
really wanted. Some have said that they found many Hams to be rather less
helpful than CBers (I know, Dick.... not all Hams).

Some CBers are electronic engineers, and also use CB for yakkin... as they
get all the technical playing they want while at work.


The term "upgrade to ham" could be taken to mean "we Hams are better than
you", and is ignoring the basic fact that the two hobbies are different. Why
do some people still believe that a CBer is a "Ham wannabe", and not just a
CBer.
So, some CBers have moved to Ham, but many of those stick with CB also, or
return to CB. If CB was just a step on the way to Amateur, then there would
not be so many using both services, or returning to CB.


But if you mean to get away from the "idiots" and "Trolls", then you should
consider that many of the "Trolls" on this ng are *NOT* CBers, and some are
"Hams". Ham radio is not supposed to be an "idiot-free CB" service.... it
isn't even "idiot-free".

Brainbuster.

Hi Sharkmeister.

I notice that Aaron still has a problem understanding "blocked sender". I
only see his replies when someone includes it in their reply.

If he looks more carefully, he may notice that I do **NOT** claim breaking
laws to be OK. At *NO* point do I say that I only obey certain laws. He
would notice from my other posts that I use a *legal* UK CB, with
*no* extra frequencies, and *no* RF amp (rx or tx). Even my antenna is
within the latest spec.
But then again, he only sees what suits him. There's none so blind....

All I said was that I find it impossible to get fired up over undectected
crimes which have no official figures to show that they harm anyone, when
there are children out there suffering pain and a slow painful death that we
could only imagine the horror of.

If I get inteference from an illegal transmitter, I am very capable of
dealing with it myself, deciding what needs to be done, and reporting it to
the "RIS" if I feel it really necessary.
I do NOT need someone like Aaron to keep "lookout", or to bother *possible*
offenders for me. I feel quite sure that most adults would also feel that
they do not need "looking after" by someone like "Aaron".


Oh, and I mentioned shooting serious child abusers in the head.... that soon
got Aaron "fired up".... but **NOT** to agree!!!!
No doubt Aaron has his reasons for getting stressed out by such an idea, but
I really wouldn't like to make any guesses about what these reasons are.

My, but that anger problem is like a monkey on your back. Look, 'Nad,
you embarassed yourself by carrying on about Bin Laden using cb in the
freeband, I just pointed out it was the ravings of a semi-mildly
challenged adult in need of anger management instruction. Claiming you
monitor terrorists and that you know so much about their communications
is one thing, but to make the statement that cbers should be shot in the
head for something you don't agree with cements not only your position
toward cbers but your state of mind as well. You must admit, my thoughts
on the matter of illegal cb provoke such profound reaction from you, so
much as to the point that your anger prompted a post that may be
construed as a genuine threat of violence by some. Nevertheless, you are
keenly aware of my level of concern toward you. Heretic impotence
instills no fear. In addition, my ability to make you react the way you
do and almost on cue simply by my view of cb is in direct contradiction
of the accolades you have attributed me in the past. Get some rest.

Sorry Scott they will never agree. Because if

for a littering ticket. Yes your right, if you read the

No matter how you spin it Sharkey, defying FCC rules is breaking
federal law. It is also thumbing your nose at your CB neighbors.
Neither one is nice. Both are selfish and antisocial. When you start
splitting hairs about the definition of the word "crime" it's a sure
sign of a guilty conscience seeking an excuse.

until the FCC has sent a NAL, warned you a number
of times, forwarded a notice to the Federal District

So, you claim that a law is only broken if you're caught? That's plain
and simply crazy. The minute you ignore the law, you are comitting a
crime. Whether or not you get caught, will determine whether or not
you'll actually get punished for it. But the "crime" is committed the
second you do something against the established rule.

> As far the anti-social crap, you are the one being

There is no hard evidence that Aaron is an "assumed" name. Because you
may "think" it, does not necessarily make it so.

> post things that purposely inflame people, and cause nothing
> but hate.

If someone telling you, you're a crook, is inflammatory, then I hope he
does it some more. If the truth bothers you, you should do something to
change it.

I can't believe the lengths that some people go to try to spin their way
out of the truth. Trying to justify it by making claims that "other
people do it", or that "it doesn't hurt anyone", or that "If you speed,
you are just as bad, so you have no room to tell me I'm breaking the
law", or "the law is wrong, and should be changed, so I feel justified
in breaking it".

This country works as well as is has due to our system of laws. If a
proposal is deemed to be beneficial by the majority of the populous, it
is voted into law. You have an obligation to follow that law, or suffer
the consequences. You can lobby to change the law, but if you cannot
convince the powers that be, that a change is justifiable, then you're
STILL obligated to follow it.

Arbitrarily ignoring selected laws leads to anarchy. Something that is
disruptive to society. While infractions of small laws may appear to
have little or no impact, it leads to further rationalization for
breaking more and more laws.

Be glad you don't live in a totalitarian state where you have no rights,
and the local cops can shoot you on sight for law infractions. Living in
a country that embraces freedom, also comes with the equivilent
responsibility to follow the will of the people or face the penalties.
People that ignore this basic principle, are contributors to the demise
of our society.

So don't complain when people shoot up schools, steal cars, rape and
kill people, steal you identity etc. While these are certainly more
serious crimes than operating a Citizens Band radio illegally, the
principle is the same.

No Dave, that's not what I said. You have not broken
any law until they charge you with violation part 47.
Then, and only then do you go before a federal magistrate.
Anything before that is going before an FCC commission,
which can ask you to cease and desist, bring you equipment
in for inspection, issue a NAL.

Now Dave, you usually post some pretty level headed

All right, do you post in any other groups? As said before
say you post in a auto group. Now they discuss all the time
about how to get more horse power, brighter lights,
where to race, how fast they can go, if you started going
on a rampage concerning these issues, do you think they
would get upset? Of course they would, the same goes here.
If they operate out of bands use a linear, you take a chance,
but to run around and call people criminals, it's strictly
for a troll value they wouldn't do that in those groups.
Hell even on the amateur groups if someone post that
type of info all they do is tell them it's illegal, they don't
go on a tirade and start calling them criminals.

Ok, I won't if you don't. Seriously, those are good values
but the wrong forum for it. If you have serious concerns for
the cb band I recommend that you take notes, names,
addresses, times, places, report it all to the proper authorities.
They themselves recommend that you are not to confront these
individuals, let the proper officials handle it.
There has been crime for hundreds of years in the USA,
murders, rapes, drunk drivers, theft, burglary, robbery etc etc
To say that disobeying selective laws will cause anarchy,
man this country should be a Taliban nation by now then.
People have and will break laws, and as such if caught
they will pay what ever the price is.

This is all my opinion, as is yours is above, so please
let not start a flame fest.

Take care,

Landshark

"Wrong, "Herr multi-nic".

"committed" any crime before a conviction in a court of law."

Whether or not you get caught, will determine whether or not you'll

  As far the anti-social crap, you are the one being
anti-social. You hide under an assumed name

There is no hard evidence that Aaron is an "assumed" name. Because you
may "think" it, does not necessarily make it so.

"Most are not as gullible and impressionable as you."



post things that purposely inflame people, and cause nothing but hate.
If someone telling you, you're a crook, is inflammatory, then I hope he

change it.

"Well, you certtainly have your ways. You go lay down, lick your wounds,
and return under yet another phony alias."

I can't believe the lengths that some people go to try to spin their way
out of the truth.

"I know just what you mean. Lelnad attacks me and tells me how the feds
bust cbers left and right and when I ask him to support his claim with a
media confirmation anywhere, he tries to spin his way from it by calling
names and changing the subject and telling me to go get proof in the
hammie room. The audacity, huh?"

Trying to justify it by making claims that "other people do it", or that
"it doesn't hurt anyone", or that "If you speed, you are just as bad, so
you have no room to tell me I'm breaking the law", or "the law is wrong,

"Exactly, and you have no control over those consequences and it pisses
you off to no end."

You can lobby to change the law, but if you cannot convince the powers
that be, that a change is justifiable, then you're STILL obligated to
follow it.

"No, we can choose to suffer the consequences after carefully weighing
the odds, remember?"

Arbitrarily ignoring selected laws leads to anarchy.
Something that is disruptive to society. While infractions of small
laws may appear to have little or no impact, it leads to further
rationalization for breaking more and more laws.

"And softer drugs lead to harder ones, right?"



Be glad you don't live in a totalitarian state where you have no rights,

"Most of us are glad. It's your type who have a problem fitting in and
being accepted. You want the world to do your work for you while you
peer from behind lace curtains in your dainty, little yellow cottage
surrounded by armed guards and barbed wire fence."

and the local cops can shoot you on sight for law infractions.

"My, my, but this familiar theme is ever so popuar among the confused
and double digit IQ brigade."

Living in a country that embraces freedom, also comes with the
equivilent responsibility to follow the will of the people or face the
penalties.

You are getting to be redundant
and are repeating yourself.
Please do not allow your inability to control your emotions to cloud
your somewhat already marred judgements and beliefs."

People that ignore this basic principle, are contributors to the demise
of our society.
So don't complain when people shoot up schools, steal cars, rape and
kill people, steal you identity etc.

"You are a real gem and boon to mankind with that also familiar theme of
comparing
one who doesn't recycle their aluminum cans properly to violent
criminals, but you already know how valued your esteem is around here."


While these are certainly more serious crimes than operating a Citizens
Band radio illegally,

"Ya' think?"

the principle is the same.

"Yas, it is. You ruined every nic you use, lie your heathen brethren
few."

Okay, how's this for an example. You set up a 5 million watt
transmitter in your car to broadcast profanity on 27.999 Mhz. You
invite 30 FCC agents and officals to sit in a specially-built
grandstand in a public park and watch you do it. You even set up huge
projection screens to display live video closeups of field strength
meters and frequency meters. At the end of the demonstration, you
take off, leaving no trail. According to you, no laws have been
broken?

True, but *YOU* know the minute you key up that radio with more than the
legal power, that you're breaking the law. YOU know you've comitted a
crime. Sitting back and thinking "wow" I got away with it one more time,
I'm the man!" does not diminish the criminal nature of your actions, no

Unlike many of you, I give people the benefit of the doubt. I have seen
no hard evidence that suggests that Aaron is anyone other than he says
he is. You may want, for your own reasons, to think otherwise, but it'll
never be more than a supposition.

No, I guess many are like you and assume that everyone that dares stand
up for what's right is automatically Aaron under another name.

The FCC does routinely bust radio operators. Look on the FCC.gov site,
and there is a section that published their activities. They are
certainly not busting enough people, but at least some are being made
examples of.

No it doesn't "piss me off". Saddens is more accurate. To see a

That's been proven both in theory and in practice. It applies just as

That makes no sense. If by "fitting in" you mean that I abandon my

hedonism and declining moral values, then i prefer to not "fit in". But
what does that have to do with work? I do my own work.

Hi Dave,

Great post. But remember that you are talking with people that
justify their illegal behavior by claiming that the CFR and USC,
or just the parts that apply to them, are not really laws. Don't
bother them with the truth of the matter, because the entire

passion for freebanding and amps than they do for rational thought.

I used to listen to cellular. Then one day it was made "illegal" to
monitor. Nothing really changed in the world except that some
Big Money changed hands and all of a sudden I was made a "criminal"
even though I did nothing different.

It's only the "AKC" that see themselves this way.

The rest of us know what to expect, which is why we use killfiles on certain
"AKCs". Insults, profanity, false accusations, multiple posting of a
message, and sexual innuendos are certainly not going to save the world
from anything.
Such posts suggest that the "pro-legal" issue is not the persons main
concern... just a smoke screen for "Trolling" or a personal hatred for CBers
in general.

Such tactics give the term "legal CB" a bad name.

When a newbie joins the group, and wants to know about whether to run amps or
not, who will he listen to...
1. A bunch of foul mouthed a$$wipes with bad attitudes,
or
2. Helpful people with a friendly attitude.


It is possible to be "pro-legal, without being in group 1. This is proved by
certain people on this group, who are clearly in favour of legal radio use,
but are also friendly and helpful.

Once you get blocked by someone, you lose the chance to debate the issue with
them, and so lose any hope of changing their view on illegal CB.
If this doesn't bother an "AKC", then it is clear that the "pro-legal"
message is nothing more than a smokescreen for newsgroup Trolling.

But then, considering the following:
1. There are many more CBers on CB than on this ng.
2. Many on here are "Hams", and not CBers.
3. Of the CBers here, only some are "illegal" CBers.
4. Of the very few illegal CBers here, very very few are close enough to
actually be a problem to you, or any other "AKC".
5. Of those "illegal" CBers, NONE are changing their views.
I find it impossible to believe that the time some "AKCs" spend on here is
of any use other than for Trolling value.

Brainbuster.

I wouldn't bet on it coming to him.

This "upgrade" attitude is a by-product of the misconception that either "Ham
radio" is an upgraded CB, or that CB is a lower grade "Ham" service.
This delusion leads the person to the mistaken belief that every CBer is just
a "Ham wannabe".
This is probably what has lead to the lowering of the "Ham" entry
requirements both in the US, and UK. People thinking that all CBers want to
be "hams".

The answers are within their reach, but they have their eyes shut. Until
these people open their eyes, they will never see that which stares them in
the face.

Hi Moparholic.

So people who have no respect for laws regarding stalking or fraud, and no
fear of getting caught and punished for these are scared s***less that they
may get caught listening on a scanner.
Makes nearly as much sense as a bendy rubber nail.

Surely the only time you could get accused of listening, is when you are
already accused of a more serious crime where you *could* have obtained the
information by that method.
It must be almost impossible to prove that someone listened to a
transmission... there could be no physical evidence that the crime ever took
place... and certainly none to tie a person to the *alleged" crime.

So, what is the incredibly scary punishment for listening to these
services... a bullet in the head?

Because you yourself haven't read them, you assume they have something
to do with taking away the average mans rights.

They don't.

Among the 4 million pages in the law library are those covering
Administrative Law, Family Law, Real Property Law,
Bankruptcy/Debtor/Creditor Law, Health Law, Business and Corporate
Law, Intellectual Property Law, Commercial/Consumer Law, Labor Law,
Tax Law, Constitutional Law, Law Practice Management, Tort Law,
Criminal Law, Transportation Law, Environmental Law, Municipal Law,
Wills and Estates Law, and Ethics.

Perhaps you are thinking of the "Blue Laws" that are kept on some
states and communities books as a matter of "local tradition" such as
prohibitions against saddling horses on the Sabbath, etc. One could
hardly compare Federal Law with these.

> Then come back and tell me that

You want Twisted's position as the news group punch clown now? All you have to do is start claiming you talk to "saucer men" and collect "jock straps" on the wall. Or failing to criticaly read the sig file too.

And as far as my sig file goes it specifically mentions "Twistedhed", not you, nor CBers in general, but that could change if you want to complain about it any more. I wonder what I could think up using "Moparholic"? Hum, seems to rime with "Alcoholic", I'm sure I'll think up something good.

Since Twisted likes to waste so much of his time looking for old posts of mine, and others, to resurrect, for purposes which seems to elude even him, I though I would give him something fun to read when he finds them.

============================================================

Nothing in my reply said anything about talking over any station. Now to address your comment. Who said the KW station has to be anywhere near where the handhelds are used number one? Also by just filling up any given channel with useless noise, potty talk etc. It then become easy for a quick and brief message to go unnoticed. That same idea applies to a room filled with loud talking people. Real easy for two people close together to exchange a quick message between themselves unnoticed by several others in the same room who are deliberately trying to monitor such conversations.

Now what got us in to the present mess, with 5000 dead or missing and two destroyed buildings, is because nobody though it was possible that a handful of people would turn jumbo jets in to flying guided missiles. Now we know better. But of course the closed mind type of thinking that blinded everybody to the possibility, including our wonderful government and now a fact, it could happen seems to be repeating itself here. So everyone has a choice, either admit it can happen, or wait until another building is destroyed, bridge blown up, etc., and the admission by the government that they didn't consider the idea seriously.

So if on September 10, 2001 somebody told you that at least 3 jumbo jets would be hi-jacked by four men on each plane, and armed with nothing more than "box cutter knifes", and then intended to crash two of them in to the world Trade Center towers in New York and the third plane in to the Pentagon, would you have believed it could REALLY happen? Or would you just laugh at their face until the morning of September 11, 2001 at around 9:00 AM? Just think for a minute, those events may never have happen had this country been a bit more "paranoid" about Terrorist activities here at home.

Funny is it not that our wonderful government first stated that airing the videos, from Osama, on nation wide news was just fine, and now they flipped flopped their position and HIGHLY recommend against airing any such videos because of the possibility of hidden messages to Terrorist cells still operating in the U.S.?

Here in Spokane, in 1999, Robert Charles Grinnell was sentenced in
federal court for fraud using a scanner. He got fined $5000, 6 months
in prison, 3 years probation, and had to pay $43,240 in restitution.
That's just one example, no doubt there are more.


OT, it's just after 7pm and two more tremors rumbled through town.
We had several good ones this morning. These quakes were cool at
the beginning, but now they are getting really annoying!

(make that 3 jolts tonight!)

Yeah I thought it was good and I hope Dave
will see my point of view, he doesn't have to
agree with it, but at least acknowledge it like I
did his.

The answer to you question Aaron is,(whatever your
name is) I'm not going to stoop to your level of changing
the subject. Your wrong, go chase passing cars and turn
them in for speeding.
