Radio enforcement to protect frequencies? Read on...
After putting in some thought I realized that the FCC really doesn’t have enough money to do such a thing as radio police. It is actually supposed to be the FCC’s job to do the policing. We can’t really ask permission to do this because the FCC is already trying to do so. What we need to do is volunteer to give the FCC clues about an illegal user. Keep a log of an illegal user. Try to catch what he says. His address or area where he lives? Where he works? His name, CB handle, or fake call sign he is using? Do some real foxhunting and put your experience to a good cause. We need to help the FCC. Don’t be against them because you think they are not doing anything to protect our bands.
Almost every day I hear people complaining about illegal CBers and the misuse of frequencies. If we really want all this to stop then this is what we have to do. We don't want to have anybody jamming our frequencies while they are being used for emergency traffic do we? Also, keep the bands clean and strong for our future hams. I want to enjoy this hobby for the rest of my life and I am sure you do to.
Missusers of the bands would fear being prosecuted and the FCC would put illegal users to a halt. All they need is help.
Whats your opinion on stopping illegal users?
