my house, my mother let them in and took them to my bedroom. I was at
Starbucks having coffee when it happened. They took all my radio equipment
and also found my stash of pot but did not take it or notify the local
Police thank god. My mother told them the pot was for my arthritis and they
believed her. That's what I had told my mother when I started smoking it in
my room. She thought I was burning leaves until I told her it was medicine.

Anyway, the bottom line is this, the government doesn't go by the rules,
they will do anything they want and if the agent doesn't like you, you are
in deep trouble to say the least.

What is a AUP violation? Is that code violation regarding misuse of the
George Noory secret handshake?

Don't sweat it I made the rain report for jamming a repeater and I couldn't
care less!

Then you really weren't a ham radio operator. You were just a two-bit
criminal -- a federal lawbreaker, but certainly not a ham radio
operator.

Hey Jeffy-poo, did you know that the very first hams didn't have licenses
either? Early pirates they were, experimenters, risk-takers... Nothing like
the buy-it-off-shelf and plug it in lazy ass hams of today. Pass a simple
test with mulitple answers and you got an extra ticket and with only 5wpm
code too! You call that a license? I hear extras every day who don't know
crap about basic tube theory or for that matter, simple ohms law. What's up
with that? You guys can take your breakfast ceral ham licenses and shove
them where the sun doesn't shine, they are worthless!

Therew ere no laws preventing what you sissily call "pirating" at the
time, anal boy.

Isn't there a way of getting your licence without sitting for the exam....
eg... being educated in one of the following professions.
electronics engineer
communications technician
physics professor.
Sounds possible to me.
