If one wishes to operate legally on 11 meters do not use CW or tone CW.
The only legal modes of communicating there is AM or SSB voice. Tone maybe
used as an alerting mechanism but not for other methods of communication.

Even though licenses are not required and most (not all) persons don't
follow the regs there, if you are caught violating the regs there you can
be refused an Amateur License. It can and does happen from time to time.

This is true! As the man said, tho most don't follow them - they DO exist.
They WILL be enforced - if so desired. Actually, an infraction of any radio
rule can deem you ineligible for not only an Amateur Licence but also any
other license from the FCC - even GROL. IF you hold a GROL and do something
stupid with it, it can cause your "amateur" license to be stripped.
Ignorance is no excuse. When you sign the forms - and your license(s) - you
agree to abide by the R/Rs.




Apparently if you have been convicted of a felony anything you can loose
your license also.

If I recall correctly the IDF officer said the US was communicating in
"old fashioned morse code".

You're correct - and just a few days ago - there was a case of a "licensed"
individual who "allegedly" molested children and was convicted - the FCC was
debating renewing his license. So, it appears they take a dim view on
"criminals" being "license" holders. I guess they feel if you can't obey the
law of the land, why would you obey their rules and regulations! I wonder if
they take into account any one who's been convicted and had "successful"
rehab? That would be interesting to know.

I once seen a copy of the "code" used by other countries. There were
"some" - if not many differences. I also seen a copy of "supposedly" the old
west code - used .......... Man, what a difference - IF ALL WERE TRUE - that
is........ I'm only reporting what I seen, can't say for sure if true or
not. It was interesting to say the least.

Maybe - and I"m going on a limb here to guess - the "differences" in the
other countries code - was short hand much like our Q signals.

There's a difference between lack of ability and lack of desire. The
latter is just plain laziness.

That movie was hokey. An alien invasion force with thousands of ships in
orbit would need to use our satellites to communicate with each other.

Yah, right.

That would explain why there are a lot of felons on CB then. You can hear
alot of them on 27.025 MHz.

Morse code as used by Western Union (when they did code) is different
from International Morse code as used by radio operators. Not very
different but different.
