![]() "Black Cowboy" wrote in message ... "Radioman" wrote in message ... That's plenty to talk to the truck in front of you. For any real distance, you need a big antenna (CB waves are 36 feet long), and a sideband radio (set on sideband). AM is not normally a long distance mode with 4 watts and a mobile antenna. (Skip does happen, though.) Who is the ham op in Gastonia NC who chases truckers up & down the interstate, trying to find out what channel and what kind of radio they have? Hear he's a real weirdo. Black Cowboy Now you are spreading rumors, unsubstantiated rumors. It ain't *just* me, bud. You better get used to it and i will tell you how to keep from getting bothered: Stay OUT of the 10 Meter band without license and you will never hear from the hams. It's a win-win situation; you don't steal frequencies from the hams, and the hams don't listen for the drivers to operate on 10 Meters. OH, we already KNOW what "channels" to look for. Tan-fer thar??? J |

Will it be enough ,,, power,watts,ect, For what im doing. Anything more that i need to know? Get yourself a Cobra 29 (AM) or Cobra 148 (AM/SSB) which works fine out of the box. Invest in a Astatic Road King or D104M-6C-DX1 noise canceling amplified mike and a heavy duty external speaker. Antenna wise get yourself a 4' Firestick with a mirror mount quick-disconnect so you can take it with you when moving from truck to truck. Getting your rig peaked/tuned will slightly help but amps are more troble than they're worth for the average OTR. |

Any radio peaked for max smoke sounds like ****. A 2 pill amp, lightly driven, will work wonders. |

Gee, I hate to get into an argument, but go back and read what you just wrote. This wreck your trucking company just caused now costs the driver and his company BIG bucks, maybe put the driver in prison for manslaughter, his family, perhaps, in poverty. Besides, what is slamming on brakes going to do when the "monitor" is in FRONT doing the copying? HMMMMMMMMM? You tractor tag # is on the FRONT, remember? They don't WANT the trailer #!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! By the time you know the monitor has gotten the numbers, he has already pulled far ahead. The lawsuits, mmmmmmMMMMMM!! Lots of witnesses that saw that tractor slam on brakes for no apparent reason! $$$$$$$$$$$ Ker-ching!!!!!! LMAO J |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I bet 25 Million owners of CB radios are just shaking in fear at this self-appointed army of wannabe hams! Post some of your fake "enforcement" letters for us. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL ROTFLMAO! OK! Glad to! Plenty of them. Bear with me, guys, while I re-post some of those letters that were posted before. Keep on with the HAHAHA! and the ROTFLMAO. It is real, and if it keep up, you may find that weight stations and the state DOT officers will have the authority to pull you over and cite you for operating on unlicensed bands. They said that the "Local Enforcement" thing would never pass, but it did, and some localities have used it to respond to complaints of CB interference. Wouldn't take much to amend that law to make the above happen. Again, the way to NOT get in trouble is to just not operate on 10 Meters. Very simple premise to me, But, NO, *some* people think their CB playtoy has to extend into theirs and everybody else's area, too. And if the drivers would just stay OFF 10 and 12 Meters, there would be no problem. This "Ah've got mah rah'ts thar to use this hyar reddio whir I wanna" stuff just don't get it. Seem to forget that there are services that have needs as well. Funny. Them thar fellers go down to Roy's CB Shop and Pool Hall , buy one of them thar CB reddios where his coax has to be a "certain" length, and WHAM! They suddenly know ALL there is to know about radio--which is, for them, "AH WANT TO WORK MAH REDDIO AND I WANT TO TAWK SKIP ON EVER' CHANNEL THERE IS," (Thar) And the hell without everybody else. If you want to use a radio, do it right, use a word called "Respect for others" and run your rig on the bands that you are allowed to. VERY simple. Take the time to do a little study about HOW, WHEN, and WHY a radio works. You will find that all that "swang", broad-banded coil antennas, SWR's (there is only ONE swr in a feedline snicker), and that coax length is a bunch of bull****. Get the license, operate on ALL amateur bands, but do it RIGHT! I'll be back with the enforcement letters from ARRL Letter. Better yet! Why don't you call 717-338-2502 (the fox candy man) or email and find out for yourself. HE is the guy that asked the hams to start watching for illegal intruders to start with. That is published on the web as well. (how do you want your CROW cooked)? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (he that laughs last laughs BEST! J |

![]() "Black Cowboy" wrote in message ... Oh My Oh My Oh My! an imaginary "army" of wannabe hams with no life, patrolling the nation's interstates 24/7 ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA When I'm out driving to and from work sites I tune in to the low end of 10m. And yeah, from time to time, I hear mainly truckers using AM. If I got close enough I would ID them too. I would be sending the info in to the FCC field office, the ARRL, and the trucker's company just to let them know a fine may be coming their way. The company can thank the law breaking employee of theirs for the privilege of contributing to the payment of the national deficit. I bet 25 Million owners of CB radios are just shaking in fear at this self-appointed army of wannabe hams! If you're on 10m illegally and see a vehicle with funny looking antennas pacing you in from the cab you should worry. Post some of your fake "enforcement" letters for us. Fake there not. Contact the companies listed below for yourself. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL ROTFLMAO! I'll bet the guilty truckers aren't laughing when the boss tells them it either the radio or their job. If some bozo driver cost me, as the owner, a $10K fine I would find me another driver. There are plenty of hungry unemployed drivers out there who would be happy to have a job right now. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- FCC Warns Trucking Firms about Alleged Unlicensed 10-Meter Operation NEWINGTON, CT, Jul 28, 2003-- The FCC Enforcement Bureau has sent Warning Notice letters to three highway transportation firms asserting that drivers of some of their vehicles may have transmitted without a license on 10 meters. All three notices allege the unlicensed operations took place July 8 on Interstate highways in South Carolina. Letters went out July 14 from FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth to Jolly Roger Capital Ltd of Columbia, South Carolina, Tidewater Transit Company of Kinston, North Carolina, and Shuford Lumber of Marion, North Carolina. He warned all three firms that operation of radio transmitting equipment without a license could lead to fines of up to $10,000, equipment seizure and even imprisonment. Hollingsworth cited "information before the Commission" that spelled out each vehicle's highway location, license plate and--in two instances--operating frequency (28.085 MHz). One of the Warning Notice letters also identified the make and year of the vehicle. The alleged offenses were said to have occurred when the vehicles were under way on Interstate 77 or Interstate 20 in South Carolina. Hollingsworth asked all three firms to get in touch with him to discuss the allegations. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- Push to Identify Unlicensed 10-Meter Operators Continues NEWINGTON, CT, Oct 10, 2003 A concerted effort begun last spring to monitor for and possibly identify unlicensed operators on 10 meters will continue through October. The FCC already has asked the ARRL Amateur Auxiliary/Official Observers for assistance. Now, FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth is inviting hard information on suspected interlopers from all amateurs. "If I don't receive reports, we'll have to conclude that unlicensed operation on 10 meters no longer is a problem," Hollingsworth said this week. Hollingsworth's initial request to beef up monitoring came in the wake of complaints from the amateur community that rose to the level of a major enforcement headache. He's expressed some disappointment, however, that the number of solid reports received so far has been few, although he's aware that a problem exists. Hollingsworth asks amateurs to be specific in what they report. "Everybody should police their own neighborhood," he suggested. "Turn on the radio, and take a listen on the band. If you hear a loud signal that's obviously an unlicensed interloper, see if you can track it down." Hollingsworth said that in the case of a suspected unlicensed trucker on the highway, amateurs should try to get the license plate number of the tractor--not the trailer--or at least the company name and, if possible, the DOT number. The FCC does not require direction-finding data but would appreciate, where possible, names and addresses of alleged or suspected operators. Audio recordings of apparently illegal transmissions also can prove helpful but are not absolutely necessary. Individual amateurs with solid information on alleged unlicensed operation on 10 or even 12 meters should report it to the FCC via e-mail. Official Observers should file their reports through normal ARRL channels. ARRL Field and Regulatory Correspondent Chuck Skolaut, K0BOG, says the FCC wants to pin down specific areas where unlicensed operation is prevalent in the US. He and Hollingsworth concede, however, that not all illegal 10-meter operation is of domestic origin. The FCC's initial request last May request was made in accordance with the Communications Act and a longstanding agreement between ARRL and the FCC regarding the use of Amateur Radio volunteers to assist in enforcement. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -- Leland C.
