I just thought the comments from most of the hams there were interesting.Most seemed to think if freebanders stayed off the amateur bands then who cares.Some even showed contempt for the wording used that was derogatory to CB'ers.
WOW It seems Jerry got bent out of shape when it was mentioned that he advertises his antennas on one of the CB forums,i think n3ats brought up some great points.
Oh well back to reading other post and i'll leave the policing to the fcc............really **morse get a life :roll:

He does have a life...you see, it's just a pathetic ugly one.
Ha, he fails to see his flaws.
You can't argue with someone who suffers from flawed logical reasoning.
And he is blinded by his own vindictiveness. I believe he would drop the dime on his own mother. :twisted:

what a boob...he does not understand why his comparing a freebander to a thief who steals his tractor is illogical.
It is not even close to being the same thing.
He cannot see his own flawed logic.
He is flawed.
I see the flaw clearer that he "SEES" an illegal 10 meter operator.

The Amateur bands aren't owned by the Hams. They receive a privilege to operate on it by passing a test. Sort of like a drivers license. Both require a test to show knowledge of operation. To use either without it will get you in trouble, a fine or jail. If someone not licensed is driving on the same road that I am he is not stealing from me. I don't own the road , I just have legal use of it. If someone is talking on HF without a license he did not "steal" it from me or other licensed Hams. He has no right to be on it but I can't compare it to stealing from me. I can report him but I can't act like I own it personally. No more than I own the road I can legally drive on.
i agree 100%. i dont mind freebanding, i do mind if someone is not licenced and transmits on ham bands. what people dont realize is that channels above 40 are no just dead air, they are reserved for the militery, forest service, and some customs activity. just because you cant hear sombody that doesnt mean they cant hear you. its the same reason why you cant use a marine radio in the middle of the desert, your signal could interfer with marine transmisions due to conditions.
