Bill Oglesby, 60, a licensed amateur ham radio operator for 45 years, is
one of two internal club investigators who police members when
transmission interference complaints occur.
notice the hams police themselves.
Ham clubs do not "police" anybody. Invidual hams *may* take advantage of
the club's help when faced with
such a situation.
The "concept" WAS noticed. In reality, it never took hold,,the concept
was and continues to be failure. The mere existence of the Rain report
is testament.
The RainReport is testament to the ARRL and individual
hams' BEGGING AND PLEADING FOR enforcement,
not some HAHAHA==look what happened to all those
bad "hammies". I know it is a concept difficult for you to
grasp, but we A S K E D for enforcement for years prior
to Mr. Hollingsworth being assigned to the task.
The RainReport began as a weekly report of enforcement
actions that were sorely needed. NO one of us, despite your attempts to
make some invalid comparison between
the problems that face CB and/or Amateur Radio, ever said any different.
Those outlaw ops, be he ham CBer, deserves what he gets In fact, Darrell
Duckworth's reports are weeks apart at times. Lots of these reports, both
on Rain, ARRL and AR Newsline are filled with citations to power companies
for interference TO hams, not the other around. Warnings to hams continues
to decline as the "bad" ops realize that they WILL be punished for their
misdeeds.
try and get
a keyclown to even answer the door if he is
interfering with someoneROTFLMAO
You need make yourself more clear and use terms that are in the English
dictionary and recognized as legitimate speech. Making up words and
expecting others to acknowledge your baby-speak is what toddlers do when
faced with a situation in which they have not the intellect to express
themselves accordingly.
One who reads the article finds that the problem lies with
cheap Part 15 consumer electronics, and NOT with the
ham, who appears in the article, to be operating completely within his legal
parameters. These devices
have a sticker that state that said electronics must accept
interference from other sources---such as a legal Amateur
OR CB radio. As long as the ham or CBer is operating his station legally,
there isn't much the consumer can do. It
is, however, just good sense and public relations to do all
one can to help the neighbor. I've done it. People complain because they
have never read that sticker and are quick to yell simply because they don't
know any better. And, of course, it is human nature to point at the
other fella. After all, it can't be *ME* that is wrong.
