Fine.
Mexico is on the freqs above .405 nearly 100% of the time. Screws up whatever rule we make - making it null an void anyway. Not to mention South America too. Don't know if you hear it up there in Illinois; but in CA we get a snoot full of it.

Like I said, I wan't sure of the law. But they have made it useless - is the point.


I imagine those guys down in Mexico and Central and South America feel the same way about USA stations using the freeband!

There used to be some kind of informal arrangement at one time that English speaking was on 27.410-27.650 or so, and Spanish or Portuguese was mostly 27.655 on up to 28.000. Also, English on LSB, Spanish on USB. You can still notice most USA ops are below .655, but the Spanish speakers don't hold their end of the bargain anymore, they are everywhere.

Don't forget that a good many of the Spanish stations you hear are stateside, talking to family and friends back home.
 
LMAO!! I hear that all the time!! but you have to take into consideration that its a non licensed band or free and radios that cover these areas are sold everywhere so people just have to deal with the extra B,S, if there using the frequencies where these others are speaking there native tongue.

I say its fine let them talk but man it gets messy when you have spanish mixed with english peaople and noise toys and roger beeps all hammerin at one time so its one of those things you like it or lump it. Either you deal with it or dont use the radio orvthose frequencies.

I remember scanning around years ago and I beleive it was 27.445.00 there was always a spanish female dispatcher running a cab service on that frequency I would laugh listening to that and the english guys SCREAMING into the microphones at her to shut up and move to another frequency it was crazy to imagine anyone trying to run a productive business on a freeband CB frequency that was most likely filled on a normal basis but yet everyday she was there dispatching and people were yelling at her LMAO!!

she never even heard them because she (like a lot of the spanish speakers) was working split :eek::eek:
 
Hear! Hear! (y)
I do the same thing on 10. If I hear 'em, watch out! Here in Canada, we have no official band-plans, and can use any mode, anywhere. If I hear a bootlegger/pirate/outlaw on 28.045 etc., I'll load up the amp, and talk to a local buddy on AM, or whatever mode causes the most damage. Screw 'em.

On the other hand, I'm not to excercised about what they do on non-amateur frequencies. Let 'em have their fun. Here in Canada, the spectrum from 27.405 to 27.990 is shared between paging and municipal land mobile. Today, licenses are few and far between. There are still some remote, rural municipalities up there, but I suspect those licenses are unused, as most small towns have gon to VHF/UHF or higher.

I just did a quick query on the Industry Canada Spectrum Management site and found the following licences in Canada for the band 27.405-28.000MHz.

Well so much for formatting the page.:headbang :censored:

You get the idea anyway.

Robb,

Is that a new rule from the high court? That disobeying a law makes it null and void? Lots of criminals will be overjoyed to hear that.:whistle:

lol!
Na; just an observation. I hear MX in here almost every day on the upper channels - AM mostly. It's just locals talking - with all of their noise toys on.
:whistle:
 
I just did a quick query on the Industry Canada Spectrum Management site and found the following licences in Canada for the band 27.405-28.000MHz.
How did you query the IC site?
The best I could do was to download the "Table of Frequency Allocations, 5.000 Mhz to 136.000 Mhz". Now I have to sift through that unformatted muck. :headbang

And that is just what is public knowledge. There are actually other frequencies around 27 Mhz that are allocated to Navy/Army/AF MARS. I would be happy to share, except it's against the rules. Many of the frequencies just outside the Amateur Bands on every band are allocated to the Military. Just because they're not published in a publicly accessible listing doesn't mean they don't exist.

I remember them being public knowledge years ago and even had a list showing all the fed gov., CAP, USCG freqs. etc but I think after 9/11 a lot of that has been stricken from the public record.
