I'm happy to say that you don't understand it correctly. You can say or talk about almost anything on ham radio. There are a few "but's", but nothing that would prevent the example you described. As in, keep it 'clean', you can't charge for making a transmission ('amateur' radio, not 'commercial' radio), can't use secret codes/ciphers (published ones are okay), and probably some other things I can't think of off hand. You get the idea though? It sort of amounts to common courtesy, common sense to some degree, and not having someone say, "Did you really say that?" kind'a thingy. It also depends on what/where/when you say things. If you stumble onto a 'directed' net, or a group talking about a particular thing, it's sort of smart to talk about the same thing or behave in the same 'directed' manner, right? If it's something you'd rather not participate in, go somewhere else. Don't interfere or make a pest of yourself. Just like in 'real life', ain't it? Well, sort of? - 'Doc

[QUOTE="W5LZ, post: 139597, member: 129"] I'm happy to say that you don't understand it correctly. :) You can say or talk about almost anything on ham radio. There are a few "but's", but nothing that would prevent the example you described. As in, keep it 'clean', you can't charge for making a transmission ('amateur' radio, not 'commercial' radio), can't use secret codes/ciphers (published ones are okay), and probably some other things I can't think of off hand. You get the idea though? It sort of amounts to common courtesy, common sense to some degree, and not having someone say, "Did you really say that?" kind'a thingy. It also depends on what/where/when you say things. If you stumble onto a 'directed' net, or a group talking about a particular thing, it's sort of smart to talk about the same thing or behave in the same 'directed' manner, right? If it's something you'd rather not participate in, go somewhere else. Don't interfere or make a pest of yourself. Just like in 'real life', ain't it? Well, sort of? - 'Doc [/QUOTE]
