Yes Chris, but amature radio is not guaranteed by the constitution. That
makes it simpler to get rid of them.

I totally agree IF you restrict the comment to below 50 MHz and some FM.
I almost blew off ham radio until I made some contacts on 6m and 2m SSB.
I'm also impressed at the civilty on 432 MHz.
I must say that I'm not in a metropolitan area, nor can I easily hear the
nearest big city (Denver) on the bands mentioned.
Come on up!

Subject: Help:Bootleggers in area
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I'd like to post this to see what you all out there in radio/net-land think
and see if anyone has any ideas about what to do.
In my home town, where my Dad and Mom, both hams live there is a group of
bootleggers using 148.00Mhz. It started with one No-coder who must have
thought it was fun to talk on fm. He told his cb'er friends about it. They
started to buy rigs too. Now there is around 10 to 15 people, guys, wives,
little kids, all hanging out on 148.00. They yak away, never identifying,
because only one of them has a license. They cuss and swear and joke about
getting away with talking without a license. Every now and then one of them
makes a mistake and transmits on the local repeater for one transmission, then
quickly moves back to 148.00 to talk to his/her buddies.
The local hams have contacted the FCC field office for the area many many
times. At first the engineer in charge said he couldn't do anything about it
at all, he was too busy and understaffed and underbudgeted. After many more
calls and complaints, he actually drove out to the community and listened in.
Yep, they were there, doing just what the locals said, alright. Too bad. In
fact, the engineer told the locals that they better be careful, these people
might retaliate on the local hams for turning them in. The League has been
asked for help, the Official Observer people have been informed, but so far,
nothing has been done. The local hams have tape recordings by the dozen, they
know exacly who these people are, where they live, where they work, the few
who actually do work, etc. Still, the FCC nor the League will or can do
anything about it.
Now, I ask you, if these people can do this with impunity, why the heck should
the rest of us EVER worry about iding on time, or saying a cuss word now and
then, or even bother getting a license at all.
Oh yeah, I forgot, one of them is using a call that is assigned to a guy who
lives in St. Louis, which is a long way from here and he ain't the guy from
St. Louis.
This whole thing makes me sick, and my folks and the rest of the ham community
in the area are really ticked. Wouldn't you be, too?
Now, what should they/we do about this situation. Does anyone have any kind
of connection with the FCC? Is there anyone out there who gives a damn?
Help!

Please add $3 to cover shipping and handling on 1st game, $1 each
additional game. I will send the disk(s) that you request by priority mail (
2 days or less to get to you) Please don't ask me to look up such & such
about game x or y, as I don't have time to do your research for you. I
assume that if you are interested, you already know pretty much what the
game is about. If you need more info about the game, I suggest
downloading an issue of GameBytes Magazine, which gives good reviews for a
lot of them. You can find Gamebytes at ftp.uml.edu, under Games, in the
Game_Bytes subdirectory. I am studying for finals, and will look at my e-
mail again in about a week. If you have responded, I will write back and
tell you whether or not you were the first person to ask for a game. Then
you can send me the check, (if you were lucky enough to be first) and I will
send you the game. It's as simple as that.
Thanks! Dan

THE BIG, huge meteor headed toward the Earth. Could nothing stop
it? Maybe Bob could. He was suddenly on top of the
meteor--through some kind of space warp or something. "Go, Bob,
go!" yelled one of the generals. "Give me that!" said the big
guy general as he took the microphone away.
"Listen, Bob," he said. "You've got to steer that meteor away from
Earth."
"Yes, but how?" thought Bob. Then he got an idea.
Right next to him there was a steering wheel sticking out of the
meteor.

..................
Almost all non-profit organization have extra sources of income to
reduce dues and subsequently increase membership. Would you be
willing to pay $60 rather than $30 a year? I support the ARRL
publications to a degree that they are good, advertisments are
screened (e.g., no Maxon non-tune antenna tuner), and opinions reflect
the interests of the ham community. Someone wrote that salaries at
ARRL are rather low and it could be difficult to attract best people.
If you want ARRL to be better, will you be willing to pay higher
dues?

Do you really believe that truly non-profit firms go without paid employees?
If so, you are naive.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: Terry Stader, KA8SCP
Tel: (508) 692-2069
The Police Aamteur Radio Team (PART) of Westford, MA is once again providing
the communications for the Tour de Lowell Citizen's bike races on Sunday,
June 12, 1994. We have counted on many of the ham radio operators volunteers
for previous years and again are asking for your help. The Lowell Sun,
sponsor of the race, took a year off last year... but are starting up the
annual event again this year!
The race runs fron 8:30 AM until about 11 AM and is 30 miles long travelling
through towns in Massachusetts (Lowell and Dracut) and New Hampshire (Windham
and Pelham). We will be getting together at about 7:30 AM. We'll be meeting
in downtown Lowell for assignment of station location throughout the route to
provide "some" traffic control as well as safety operations. We need at least
25 hams or more to safely run this net. So anyone is welcome to join us.
If you would like to help us out this year... you are invited to inquire or
send me your information about how I may contact you to any of the below
listed addresses. All you need is a 2 meter ht (although there will be some
440 cross-band activity for some of the remotes) and a little time Sunday
morning.
Please let me know if you would like more information or would like to just
say yes!
73 for now.... c u on the shortwaves

Subject: Willful Interference
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
In my community one of the local repeaters has been plagued by an
individual or individuals who is causing willful interference with
others by constantly kerchuncking the repeater and also using DTMF
tones when others are on the air. This appears to be a willful
attempt to disrupt communications. I am looking for any insights
that people may have regarding the psychopathology of people who
engage in this behavior. Any insights or experience that people on
the net have had with these individuals would be most welcome. When
people have been caught were they well known and what was the
motivation. Your input may help us stop this illegal operation.
