Jeff was referring to deliberately operating within a broadcast station's
known "footprint."  Seems to me that that's the same as the "Is the frequency
in use" situation discussed elsewhere.

Yes there is.  It is located in the Wilkenson Center on campus.  I don't
belong to it, so I don't have any names for you to contact.  If you don't get
other replies, I'll find the info for you. Let me know.

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

I wrote this a few nights ago, right before my license came.
KE6GXD, eventually to be found on 40 meter CW.  Reply to
[e-mail]
------------------------------------------
I passed my Tech license exams in February, but am still waiting for my
ticket.  I bought an ICOM IC 720 A through a posting in rec.radio.swap,
completely sight unseen of course.  I had never even seen a 720A before.
I picked the rig based on what small amount I could afford and old
ARRL information on harmonics suppression.  Choosing a rig by TVI.
It arrived at the office on Firday.  Like a kid, I was opening it up at
the main reception lobby where it was delivered.  It was much smaller
than I imagined it would be.  One of the vice presidents of the company
walked in.  "What is this," she asked, and wanted to know if the company
was being billed for it.  I expained what it was, and then she told me
to clean up the mess.

Friday afternoon at the office drifted on by blissfully, with visions of
code practice from something other than Super Morse and other random
QSO generation programs, then came the BUSINESS DINNER FROM HELL!!!
Till 11:30 at night.  No time to unpack my new toy then.

Saturday morning, bright and early, five hours sleep or not, I was raring
to go.  I had the rig, but no power supply and no antenna.
After going through the electronics junk drawer and after a trip to
Radio Shack and to Albertson's for a gallon of milk for the baby, I
had a 12 volt 2 amp supply and a simple long wire antenna tucked under
the balcony of my first story apartment.  When I fired the rig up, I
got nothing but static and the faintest cracklings of one station
around 15.2 MHZ in Spanish.  Not even WWV!  I knew the location had
a power lines about 60 feet away, but it couldn't be that bad.  What
seemed worse, every time I changed bands, the rig made four clacking
noises like it was going to pop. "Oh my gosh, " I said to my self.
"I've been suckered.  $400 down the drain, and there is nothing I
can do."  Somebody I've never met hundreds of miles away has cashed
the check, and I am left with nothing.  I got ahold of Bob, who I
know through my church and who is a general class operator.  He said
his wife had some "Honey Do" tasks for him that would take a couple
of hours, but later he'd call me back and we'd try the rig on his
power supply and his antenna.

Hours passed, very very slowly.  It was about 7:30 at night.  He called and
gave me directions to his house.  I quickly put the rig in a small
suitcase, packed the mike, the photocopy of the manual that came with,
and my improvised power supply in a bag, and I went on over to his
place.  He put the rig on his emergency power supply, a 12 volt marine
battery he has on a solar trickle charger, plugged it into his inverted
V up about 40 feet.  It sounded fine on WWV 15 MHZ, and then we managed
to get the rig tuned to 40 meter SSB, around 7.18.  Bob, no longer just
Brother Ruizak but now N6BNN, took the frail looking desk mike that came
with the rig in his hands.  The first QSO we heard, the operator didn't let the
key up for about fifteen minutes, but finally he got a chance to break.
Bob gave his QTH as Costa Mesa, California.  The operator on the other
end said he was in Arizona, and that the rig sounded fine.  He even
said that we were 5 by 9, and that he had a 720 A and that the
horrible noise it made when I changed bands was normal.

"It worked"  "It worked." What a relief.  Then Bob passed the mike to me,
and I was actually talking to another state on the radio.  My first
time transmitting on amateur radio!  I was completely eccstatic,
in bliss.  Then a friend of Bob's heard us and broke in.  "He's a
sheep rancher in Mexico, about 1,200 miles away" Bob said to me before
keying up, and then after answering the break he handed the microphone
to my slightly trembling hands.  I thanked him for the chance to
talk, and asked him how it sounded.  He said my voice sounded a little
weak, like I didn't quite know how to best use that mike.  Of course
not, I'd never used it before.

Then another breaker came in.  His QTH was Alabama.  2,000 miles.
Incredible!

It was getting late, and his family called.  He tried to transmit
once on my improvised power supply.  The meter went dim.  Not enough
juice to transmit.  Well, at least I can't be tempted to transmit
before my license arrives.  As I carefully pack up my rig back in the
suitcase I had so casually put it in before, Bob said that he thinks
he has a straight key and an antenna matcher he will let me have for
cheap and that he'll stop on by and see what kind of antenna would
work best at my place.  I thank him repeatedly and bid him good night.
At home, I still can't receive anything and I still don't have my
license, but at least I know why and I know I've even talked DX on
my own rig now.

I agree!  If we all got off HF, the jerks would own the bands!

During a repeater war between two repeaters about 75 miles apart
which insisted on using the same pair, with one upside down, the
winning side accomplished it by sneaking to the other town and
putting a small battery powered white noise generator near the
site. The resulting noise desensed the receiver so much the
repeater was unuseable unless you were close enough to hit it
with a snowball. None of the victims thought to use a non-FM
receiver for tracking possible QRM and thought the problem was
inside their hardware.

Do the same to this turkey. Render it impossible for him to hear
without even setting foot on his property. He'll soon tire of
talking to himself.

So you don't feel alone, I too had that problem.  I don't think I ever
had it that bad, but I know it was up to a couple of seconds at a time
at least.

Other than that, I've had absolutely NO problems with my HTX-202.

Very, very true.  That does not mean that ALL 7100-7300 broadcast signals
HEARD in North America are BEAMED to Region 2 -- and if they aren't, they're
legal.  That's my point.

If they're beaming to Region 2, they shouldn't be there at all whether you are
or not.  If they aren't, then they -- as a broadcaster -- have NO obligation to
listen on the frequency before starting a transmission.  (They are, however,
supposed to notify the IFRB of their intended frequencies, hours and beam
headings/widths in advance.)\\\\\
