Two days ago on Easter Sunday I decided to see who was on the CB on channel 38 LSB. About 30 seconds after I turned on the radio - Motormouth Maul “The Voice of the Central Coast of California” pegged my meter. He came in real loud and clear.
I have never heard him before. I’m located in Virginia and when I heard him say where he was calling from I thought it was kinda cool that I could hear him. I got online and looked him up and decided to send him an email. I told him that I could hear him on 38 LSB and he replied that it was an imposter and that he didn’t “run” 38 LSB. I sent him an email back asking what channel he does run and he responded that he is on channel 6.
Here’s the issue… I know for a fact that I picked him up on channel 38 LSB and have since read on these forums that others have as well. Why would he say he doesn’t transmit on 38 LSB unless he doesn’t know that he is bleeding over the channels that bad?
Also, how in the world is he getting away with this? Seriously, if the FCC leaves this guy alone what is the point of having 11 meter rules at all?
Maybe I’m paranoid, but I’m afraid to do any modifications at all to my radio. My CB radio (Galaxy 959) is 4 watts am and 12 watts SSB and not a bit more.
So, tell me fellas. How is “The Voice of the Central Coast of California” blowin’ my doors off here in Virginia and not getting his radio equipment confiscated by the FCC?
