The ramifications of going ham.

When you get a ham license you are saying it is ok for you to as a natural person to be in contract with the fcc. As everything is in this country, we are the ones that agree to things . It is constitutional. Shall we look at section 10 clause 1 of the US Constitution. ..........." No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility."

oh boy whoever put that in there, knew what would happen in this country because without the contract clause we probably would not be in the shape we are in, that and the general welfare clause which has been abused , I might add. But I digress. The FCC which is a sub corporation for the us government must make contracts to exist. This gives them power. Without the consent of you, the people, they have no power. They may act like they have power and they may do things that are illegal and unlawful but does this make them right? No. So I say do not get a ham license , and if you must know just about any license you get is a contract and when you sign it , you are saying that it is ok for the government entity you are making contract with, to have power over you. The dirty little secret about this dirty country is that we are the ones that make it happen, whether it is good or bad. We are the ones that are responsible. We cannot point fingers at anyone but ourselves. We get angry at what happens and then you must know that we are ones that are responsible for it. It is all voluntary. Now that being said , you must know that law as we know it now, is colorable, which means it looks like law but is not. Therefore do not expect them to act according to common law. They will not. You are on your own under this system that we have but if you know how to act and know how to talk to them in the language that they know, then you will do ok............

FCC is a regulatory agency created by OUR representative government--CONGRESS!! The Act that created it was the Communications Act of 1934.

Now, just because you didn't "sign" something (and I am assuming we are talking about CB Radio) doesn't mean that in some way we can escape enforcement of Congressionally passed laws or regulations. If you read Part 95, it says that, by transmitting on a CB radio, you are agreeing to obey all the rules.

There is no reason to not obtain the Amateur license. You are not giving up any "rights" by doing so. In exchange for abiding by, IMHO, liberal rules, one gets thousands of 'channels', plenty of power, and far more than CB could hope to offer. The only who suffers is the fellow that thinks that there is some sort of conspiratorial repression of one's radio usage, or thinks that he is somehow exempt from the rules because he didn't 'sign' something. Remember: using a radio has NOTHING to do with one's "rights"--you have NO right to talk on a radio. It is a privilege granted by our Representatives. And said privilege is governed by Congress THRU FCC.

Cw morse you are a treasure of midguided ideas

If this is the way you feel and if this is what you know , then so be it. Keep on believing what you think and one day perhaps you will wake up. Sir you are slave and you are not free. You have no rights. You have no representation in Washington DC. It has been that way since the civil war. Isn't it amazing how much of this regulatory big government stuff happened during the 1930's? There is a reason for this. Do not swallow the party line and accept what they tell you is truth. Do your own thinking. Just because you decided to be a ham does not change the basic thrust of my argument. You cannot compare common law with laws of admiralty. No exception. I say again. When you dance with the devil do not think that you will not get burned. You sign something from them and you give them rights over you. You think that by abiding by their regulations and codes, you will do ok. This is not so. The only reason they have not taken away your rights as you call them is that it is not expedient to do so at this time. Let us look at the situation in New Orleans after the hurricane hit shall we. All you wonderful hams were down there doing your do-gooder emergency communications thing and guess what happened. FEMA came in and started jamming your calls. Did I make this up? No, it is all documented. You had better wake up CW and figure out who is your daddy and quit supporting these communist while you still can. I ask you . What else do you get from them? Do you get a social security check by the way? If so you are bought and sold slave, so your opinion at this time does not matter to any thinking patriot.

As far as the jamming, it is well rumored not documented.So far as I know there has not one ham come forward to confirm the rumor.It was placed on many blogs and consperacy sights. But I did find some responses to the rumor-

"on September 7th, 2005 at 7:28 pm

Jamming? Which ham conmfirmed that, and what’s their callsign? With accurate details, ARRL ‘Official Observers’ outside the area can use direction-finding to accurately triangulate the source. The ARRL and the FCC are _very_ eager to make sure ham radio works and can *quickly* shut down interference sources, once confirmed by actual, licensed operators.

However, given the extent of damage to city power systems, it’s also veyr possible the power grid’s not behaving. The power company could be putting RF on the lines to trace what’s grounded and what’s open, preparatory to energizing priority lines. That could also cause the problems you describe.

So, find a ham, and use ham skills to pin this down.. but without real names showing qualification to accurately describe the problem, I’d avoid the conspiracy theories.

"on September 8th, 2005 at 6:25 pm

I gotta call ******** on this one. I had heard this rumor a few days ago and heard from a most-hardcore ham radio operator that there was no jamming going on in NO. "

"on September 7th, 2005 at 5:34 pm

I haven’t heard it, but what frequencies is it reported on? HF? Could also be Broadband over Power Lines or a damaged power transformer. I’ve been listening to the scanner feeds of air rescue traffic and the State Police/ national guard 800 system and it sounds fine. There’s not enough of it, but what’s there seems to work. "

"on September 7th, 2005 at 7:39 pm

About the so-called jamming in New Orleans: According to what I read on this site, it is apparently coming from a Navy ship. Most likely this alleged jamming is nothing but the air search radar of that ship, being used to track and control the flight of the helicopters that are delivering supplies. It is well known that such high-power radar systems have a lot of bleedover into other EM bands. Did you watch CNN a few days ago and see the live broadcast from the news chopper that the photographer Alpaugh was sending? He was showing a Navy ship docked in New Orleans and the radar of that ship was active. Every time the radar beam swept across the helicopter Alpaugh was in, you could hear an audible “thwip” noise on the audio feed he was sending. Alpaugh himself commented on being able to hear it in his headset. "

"To: hispanarepublicana

Ham radio operators are NOT reporting any jamming in NO. You can check with SATERN in the area, that's the SA's ham radio network, which is set up in the area.

There WAS a report of HF blackouts and Hams tried to give an explanation of what was going on but the consperacy hounds would not believe it-

"Hurricane Katrina Communicaions -- UPDATED 10:50am(CDT) 9-Sept-2005:
from George Fremin III - K5TR

View comments about this article!

Update - 10:50am(CDT) 9-Sept-2005
The very active sunspot region that caused a massive X-17 flare on 7-Sept has continued to affect HF communications with the Katrina affected areas. On 8-Sept this region produced another HF radio backout of shorter duration when an X-5 flare erupted at 2106 UTC 8-Sept. There was another X-1 flare at 0330 UTC 9-Sept. And an X-3 flare at 1000 UTC 9-Sept. More information about these flares can be found on SpaceWeather.com's web page. This very active solar region was just coming into view on the edge of the sun when the X-17 flare occured. As this region moves across the face of the sun during the next week to 10 days the chances are good that we will have more solar flares. NOAA forecasters say there's a 50% chance of more X-flares during the next 24 hours, possibly causing radio blackouts and radiation storms.

The West Gulf ARES net will be shutting down net operations at 0600 UTC 10-Sept.

Update - 3:30pm(CDT) 7-Sept-2005
There was a very strong X Class solar flare at 1740 UTC that caused a HF radio blackout. Three hours later the HF bands are still affected. This radio blackout has slowed and in many cases blocked HF communications with the Katrina affected areas. Propagation is returning slowly and should improve with time.

EXcellent post, Sonwatcher!~ I monitored quite a bit of traffic on HF and never heard any "jamming". I am continually amazed at the number of people who are absolute paranoid in almost everything they do. GASP! There's a conspiracy lurking around very corner. :p AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! SAVE ME, SAVE ME for that mean old Gub'ment that's fixin' to take all my rah'ts!!!!!!!!!!!! IF they had ever WANTEd to do that, it would've already BEEN done! Like in WWII when much of life was regulated (such as gas rationing). As soon as the war was over, the restrictions and "nationalization" (if you want to call it that) was lifted.

And, no, I DON'T receive a socialistic insecurity check, I didn't pay INTO it, and won't ever collect a cent FROM it. What I DO get/will get is more than 2 1/2 times anything SSI would've paid! :p (maybe that's another 'conspiracy'!!!!!!! ;) )

two pinheads

you two guys can call it what you want. I fear this government and you had better fear it too. FEMA was not set up to help you and if there is a severe rumor going around that they were jamming radio freqs down there, then we can add that to all of the other crap they were doing. I suppose you two old birds also will not admit that they were breaking down doors and confiscating guns either? And of course both of you probably think that george bush is great and that we should be in Iraq too. I find the most resistance when talking about this stuff comes from the old people. They just cannot let go of the idea that their government is trying to help them and that it is good. This of course goes against everything the founding fathers said about it, but nevertheless we can always say that good old FDR was your buddy , right? Just remember this gramps. The government is not your friend. There was no reason for ww2. There was no reason for ww1. There was no reason for just about every war we have ever fought and in some cases that includes the revolutionary war. All this war stuff is contrived and made to happen by the rich and the elites of this world and 99 percent of them are ashkenazim zionist jew boys . If the zionist pigs have their way, I could be arrested soon for just saying such things anywhere in this country. So while you two guys , pat each other on the back and make fun of me and my views, just remember this. One day, my friends, one day, you two guys will begrudgingly admit that I , your bubble was right and that will be soon. So as I say to any non believer that scoffs at my statements. Only time will tell. And time is not on your side. You two guys march to the drums of the slaves of this country and do so willingly. You scoff and deride the very people that are sounding the alarm and make fun of their views and denounce them as being paranoia. But what goes around comes around sirs. Soon you will have to make a decision. Either you will be part of the problem or part of the solution. During the revolution , only about ten percent of the people did all the fighting. As it was then, so it shall be again I guess. And as the band Pokerface so apply sings in one of their songs, the traitors will be hung from the highest trees. Amen! I for one would absolutely without a shadow of doubt pull the lever on the hangman's noose on many of our presesnt day government officials. And I would sleep well that night knowing that I did the right thing. We are not free guys. We are slaves in the matrix. Unless you can see this, you are blind as bats. The sheepdogs bark and sound the alarm, but the sheep refuse to see. So it is. I have accepted this. Some may not say this, but to me there are many sheep that are not worth saving anyway. Finally , I will say this. Arm yourselves. Arm yourselves well. Learn how to shoot and hit what you are shooting at. Learn how to dissamble your weapons and clean them and reassemble them. On a side note what a fitting turn of events it may be perhaps when the third American revolution is won using soviet made arms. Oh what joy and delite! Learn how to plant crops and harvest them. Learn how to can food and keep food stuffs that last for years in a safe area. Learn to be self reliant. Acquire silver and gold and hide it. The coming depression is almost here. The coming police state is almost here. Look at the signs. They are right in front of you hidden in plain view. What you think you see is not what is really there. Wake up! Remember I am not your enemy. The government is your enemy. Think about it.

oh so you don't get a ss check...this is a good thing. Do you have a social security card? a social security number? Because if you do , it doesn't matter. Same thing. The reason why I asked is this. Those getting government checks will soon feel the sting of the national id card laws and with them the accompanying identification requirements , including perhaps the chip. Do not ever, and I say this very seriously, do not ever let anyone put one of those on your person.

This last post is just plain absurd and should be just plain deleated from this forum! This is not the place for this type of hate mongering
 
I suppose you two old birds

LOL ! I'm 46 years old . Didn't know that made me an old bird. :roll: :roll: First off, I didn't say anything in response to your beliefs outside of pointing out the errors that you posted as "documented" facts to appear to make your point true. It is an un comfirmed rumor that is said to have started on one of the conspiracy websites and took off like a rocket. There have been no Hams say this is true. The fact is when the Ham community was telling about the solar flares causing "blackouts" the conspiracy websites and blogs just brushed it off.Also the point you made using the Constitution about contracts was a clause that was injected to protect the honoring of contracts between CITIZENS.If you look up legal disputes at the time you will see case studies where an individual from one state was having legal problems getting an individual from another state to honor their contracts because of different laws in both states.It is then that the protection to the citizen was honored by entering this clause to be followed by the state and federal governments. You are quick to personally attack those that find discrepancies in your "facts" that you use to prove your theories.I think your fear of Government has caused you to accept anything you hear that points to Gov. conspiacy as fact without investigating further outside the sources that you are reading these things.It is so strong that you resort to personal attacks with anyone that shares a different set of opinions or evidences contrary to what you post. I have no problem with you personally, I just don't accept everything I read without checking further. And it is dangerous to your beliefs and opinions to make things bend in such a way as to appear to support your preconceived opinions. You seem to present things not wanting anyone to investigate or disagree.
 
I may be wrong but I thought the purpose of amateur radio licensing was just to make people aware of the dangers of RF and how to use equipment safely. The license itsel to me is nothing more than a certificate showing you have studied and you have a basic understanding?

cw on the otherhand,,,,,,,,,is useless JUST to talk on HF bands. Although I have passed the code test and obtained my general license and I have had fun using cw I do not think it should be a requirement. Thats another post somewhere :LOL:
 
During the revolution , only about ten percent of the people did all the fighting

Actually, the ones who started it and saw it through the tough times were 5% or less.

Thus the quote:

"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a brave and scarce man, hated and scorned. When the cause succeeds, however, the timid join him...for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."
-Mark Twain
 
After reading the rest of what you wrote, I feel it could be taken out of the pages of the "Turner Diaries",the book that inspired Timothy McVeigh-

Your statements-

All this war stuff is contrived and made to happen by the rich and the elites of this world and 99 percent of them are ashkenazim zionist jew boys . If the zionist pigs

the traitors will be hung from the highest trees. Amen!

I for one would absolutely without a shadow of doubt pull the lever on the hangman's noose on many of our presesnt day government officials. And I would sleep well that night knowing that I did the right thing.

Learn how to dissamble your weapons and clean them and reassemble them. On a side note what a fitting turn of events it may be perhaps when the third American revolution is won using soviet made arms. Oh what joy and delite! Learn how to plant crops and harvest them. Learn how to can food and keep food stuffs that last for years in a safe area. Learn to be self reliant. Acquire silver and gold and hide it. The coming depression is almost here. The coming police state is almost here.


The government is your enemy.

Turner Diaries- http://pages.prodigy.net/aesir/ttd.htm

November 9, 1989. Turner's guns seized under the Cohen Act, enacted 18 months before the Revolution begins. Nearly a million citizens detained by the government for weapons possession.

September 16, 1991. Revolution begins.

September 18, 1991. Turner's guerrilla unit (based at first in the Washington DC area) robs a Jewish liquor store (identified by surname).

September 19, 1991. Turner meditates on the revolutionary value of official corruption.

September 21, 1991. Turner's unit retrieves weapons stored in buried oil drums. Move to a new unit base. How-to information on stealing electricity and water. Assassinations directed against public officials, Jews and "responsible conservatives."

The anti-Semetic militia movement-

Many militia movers and shakers are covert anti-Semites who frequently speak in code, referring to Jews as "international bankers," "Eastern elites," "liberal media," or the "unseen hand" ushering in the dreaded "New World Order."
It does not matter that President George Bush, an Episcopalian, used the term "New World Order" to describe his own foreign policy objectives following the collapse of the Soviet Union. To militia members, Bush and all other presidents are the willing dupes of Jews who are secretly in control of the federal government.
Some are drawn to groups like the Freemen because they oppose any form of gun control; others are isolationist and xenophobic. Some are attracted by the militias' hatred of the central government; still others are white supremacists.
But underlying all militia thought and practice is a subtext of belief in a sinister Jewish conspiracy. And Stern correctly warns that "movements that dabble in anti-Semitism in whatever form are dangerous, not only to Jews but to the fabric of democracy." http://personalwebs.myriad.net/steveb/anti-sem.html

I don't think this is the kind of Patriotism I care to be a part of.
 
OK

OK, if *I* am a "gramps", then I lived in the best times the USA will ever see. I lived thru the Cuban Missile Crisis in October, 1962. I went to grammer school when it was grade 1 thru 8, only seeing entering a "Jr. High" school as a result of a move. I lived in a time when we had Chapel programs in the schools. We didn't have drugs in school, never heard of such a thing. A "Coke" was a soft drink we were only allowed to have maybe once a week if THAT. It cost 6 cents and came in a 6 ounce green bottle. Many of our secondary roads were dirt, and, mostly in the fall, our school bus would get stuck in the mud. My Dad bought gas for 14.9 cents per gallon and we took a pickup truck to town and filled up two 50 gallon drums for $14.90. He built a frame out in the barn and got a tractor boom to lift the drums onto this frame. Our four-eyed bureaucrats in EPA would have a coronary today, but those drums ran Dad's '58 Ford for MONTHS without ever having to visit a filling station. We had never heard of a student slapping a teacher in those days, and our principal had a 2 foot long paddle 3/8" thick that warmed many a butt who got out line. Nowadays I read where a teacher pepper-sprayed a student, a principal TAZERED one, and another got tazered by a cop. HOW DARE a teacher try to TEACH anything in a school and how DARE he defend himself against a physical attack by some middle school punk.

We did without air conditioning, grew most of our own vegetables, drove school busses at the age of 16 for the huge pay of $30 per month. And you know what? Our state in those days had one of the best driving and safety records in the nation. GASP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sixteen year olds driving school busses?????????????? It happened because parents taught responsibility at an early age; we HAD to to keep up the farm and everybody contributed. We started driving tractors as soon as we could reach the pedals and, in summer, you would see a whole "fleet" of kids driving John Deeres from one field to the other towing all sorts of implements and trailers. The average age was around 9 years!!!!! You didn't DARE to tear up something carelessly--your Dad would tear up YOUR butt if you did. In high school, we didn't get a car as a rite of passage at 16 and you were lucky to GET the family car (or pickup to go out one or two Saturday nights a month. Now the kids' cars won't START unless there's a cellphone stuck in their ears!~ :shock: We were fresh out of WWII, the memory still fresh in our parents minds and they never let us forget it, either. You were in church Sunday morning AND, if you were a
Protestant, Sunday night, too. And Wednesday evening for prayer meeting. Elvis emphasized the new Rock & Roll and preachers railed against it. Ed Sullivan wouldn't even show him below the waist. You didn't say "hell" or 'damn", or sh** EVER.
BIG whipping if you did. And NEVER was that "F" word uttered.
We tittered and giggled during sleep-overs under the covers when one of us 10 year olds said any bad words as if it were such an adventure. We had actors---REAL actors with character like James Stewart, Gregory Peck, Henry Fonda, William Holden, and Andy Griffith whom I had the pleasure of meeting back in the spring of '62 and I also have his autograph
(also Jimmy Stewart's) and also cowboy heros to look up to. Nowadays, there ARE almost NO movies you can go to without the actor/actress getting 'nekkid'

And we "gramps's" had a hell of a lot of fun. It was the 60's and
the muscle car era was in full swing. Chevrolet (See the USA in your Chevrolet Dinah Shore sang) was USA #1 and the runaway favorite with the kids. We hotted up Chevys in the back yard and stoplight-dragged on the boulevard. Mustang came on the scene and in 1966, the year I graduated, you could drive out off lot with a NEW Mustang Convertible with 289 V8 and 4 on the floor for around $2900. An SS 396 Chevelle could be had for not much more. The Chevy was the most popular because you could take a small-block Chevy engine in its most basic form, bolt on some heads, dual exhausts, a 60 CFM carb--all for around a hundred bucks--and blow a Ford into the weeds any day of the week. To achieve the same performance for a Ford took hundreds of dollars because their engines were not interchangible like the Chevy, and Yessir, we had FUN, Fun, Fun, till Daddy took the T-Bird Away.
Yesterday, I met a true American hero in my book. He guided Enola Gay onto the target on 6 August, 1945 to release the Bomb that changed the world. It cost me $30 bucks to meet this man, but I wouldn't pee in Hillary Clinton's face if her a*(censored) was on fire! :x Who's YOUR hero, SONNY? P Diddy?
or Snoop Dog? :p

Now I might be a "Gramps" at 57, but I've had a wonderful time and YOU nor any other Sonuva (censored) can take it away from me! I might live to be 80 or so if I am lucky(?), but the best is NOt YET to come.............SON! They say the American century was the Twentieth. There may be conspiracies and coups and adverse changes coming, but then there is a Book that PREDICTED it and it will, indeed, get worse, IMHO. But I am, "gramps" or not, happy that I was part of that century--a century of the most progress this world ever made and much of it was because of America. But in NO case will I knuckle down to conspiracies or paranoia nor go around in abject fear. If I must die tomorrow, then I can truly say that I lived in the best days there ever were.



SON!
