Totally Confused Is Me!

[KB1QBC]

:confused: After several diligent attempts to add people to my QRZ profile as a buddy that I have spoke with in my area on 2 meters and searching them out by call sign I have gotten no where. I cant see their profiles or the links that I clearly see on my profile to add them. I am absolutely LOST with this QRZ website and the ways needed to understand as to how to add people to my buddy list or locate anyone by their call sign. (I give up!) Its as though I Don't even exist on QRZ at all and no one can even locate or see my profile either. KB1QBC is TOTALLY CONFUSED! LOVE KYKKER

Gene,

I'm going to treat this as a serious post, but first a word of advice:

Ditch the "CB handle", of course unless you actually use "Kicker" as your name in real life? The spelling of that tended to make me pronounce is KIE-ker? Sounded a bit weird to say the least. Thats not really your name is it? The myspace page is also a bit over the top, but what the heck.

Now to answer your question.

To look up a call, simply type the call into the small rectangular box in the upper left of the QRZ.com page. Then hit return on your keyboard or click on the "Callsign" button with your mouse.

To add to your buddie list, click on the "User CP" button that appears on your page on the menu on the extreme left. This brings up another menu that runs from top to bottom on the left of your page.

Then you select "Buddy/ignore lists" and follow the instructions.

CBer's at a loss for wordsCITIZENS BAND RADIO
DAVID BROOKS

NASHUA - A city man who has had years of disputes with area residents over CB radio usage has agreed to pay a $500 "voluntary contribution" to the Federal Communications Commission, and stay off a commonly used CB channel for a year.
The agreement ends an FCC threat to impose a $10,000 fine against Gene Fricke of 102-104 E. Hollis St. for alleged broadcast violations.
Fricke, known on the air as "Kykker" (pronounced "kicker"), denies any wrongdoing. In a phone conversation Wednesday, he said the agreement was designed just to placate his critics, whom he called "pissy, moaning, self-appointed business administrators with nothing better to do than follow me around."
"I sat down with the FCC - we met three times about this - and we are covering every single remote possible base that these little crybabies can use as an argument," Fricke said. "This doesn't mean anything ever occurred."
However, the agreement drew scorn from one local CB user and longtime critic of Fricke, one of several CB users who have told The Telegraph that Fricke deliberately swamps other users and even renders CB channels useless by sending out a buzzing signal for hours on end. The man's on-air name is "Hollis," but he asked that his real name not be printed because of concern about Fricke's reaction.
"It is as if the police caught a bank robber a few months after he robbed a bank, and then said, 'Oh, you haven't been robbing any more banks, so just stay out of the banks for a year and pay us $20 a week for a while,' " he wrote in an e-mail. "Fricke was caught red-handed in the act of repeatedly and willfully violating FCC regulations!"
An FCC spokesman declined to comment on the settlement, which is the commission's usual practice.
The FCC released the agreement Monday. It follows a July 6, 2005, monitoring of broadcasts from Fricke's apartment, which led to a charge, called a notice of apparent liability for forfeiture, that was filed Jan. 26. That notice threatened Fricke with a $10,000 fine for allegedly overpowering his citizens band radio and broadcasting on an illegal frequency out of his East Hollis Street apartment.
The FCC's agreement with Fricke removes that threat, knocking the fine down to a $500 payment, to be made in monthly $20 installments through 2008.
The agreement also contains six provisions, the most unusual of which is that Fricke agrees to "cease operating on CB Channel 19 for a period of one year."
CB channels don't have official uses, but 19 is generally considered a sort of introductory channel, often used by long-distance drivers when they enter a new area and are looking for directions or places to stay.
Three local CB users, including "Hollis," have previously said that Fricke has a history of swamping Channel 19 with unhelpful comments, advertising for radios that he sells, or sending out a buzzing signal, rendering it largely useless.
Fricke scoffed at those allegations Wednesday, saying that any buzzing was the result of interference from radio-controlled cars, which operate on a frequency close to Channel 19.
He called his critics "whiny-babies" who were angry that his radio equipment is more powerful than theirs.
"Sure I overwhelm them, but I overwhelm them legally," he said.
Fricke called the $500 payment a contribution that he agreed to make only to help the FCC pay for oversight of other radio malfeasance in the area. He claimed much or all of it was being paid by donations from other people.

NASHUA -- He calls himself "Dr. Kicker," but some local two-way radio fans call him a jerk -- and wish he'd go away.
They say this unidentified man, operating recently around the French Hill area of Nashua, has a habit of harassing children and adults who are using a popular form of modern walkie-talkie known as Family Radio Service through devices like the Motorola TalkAbout.

"FRS is supposed to be family radio service, to be fun," says a local man who has had over-the-air debates with Dr. Kicker, but who asked that his name not be published. "When he's around, it's not."

He and others say the man tells FRS users, who are often children, that he "owns" at least one of the system's 14 channels and that they should "get a real radio" and stop using FRS. He also has been heard using vulgar language, they say.

Matters came to a head Christmas Day, when FRS usage typically soars as families try out the new radios that came as presents.

"The little kids, they were out playing with all the channels. They got on (channel) 3 and heard (Dr. Kicker) and figured they'd have a conversation," says the man. "He was rude, got a little vulgar. One father almost wanted to have a fistfight with this guy.

"I got on the air and said, 'Kicker . . . give the kids a break, they just got new toys.' It didn't work."

"It's one thing when (Dr. Kicker) bothers licensed radio operates . . . but when he's bothering kids on Christmas, it's a lot more unpleasant," says John Bolduc, a licensed radio operator from Nashua who added that the man has been an on-the-air pest for years, dating back to harassment of radio operators in Manchester.

Despite their concerns, however, it doesn't appear much can be done by federal authorities who oversee the airwaves because FRS is an unlicensed service at the bottom of the enforcement priority list.

"It's like CB radio. This of the number of trucks that ply the highway ever day, using it . . . and think of the FCC trying to find one guy that's cursing. It couldn't be done," says John Winston, a spokesman from the Federal Communication Commission's enforcement division.

Nor is local enforcement likely.

"It would have to fall under criminal statues for us to get involved. Verbiage isn't criminal. . . . Possibly it might come under disorderly conduct, something like that," says Deputy Chief James Mulligan of the Nashua Police Department. "But it's very hard to track those things down, to find him. It would take sophisticated radio equipment."

FRS is one of three types of short-distance, two-way radio communication allowed by the FCC. The others are citizens band radio and a licensed service called GMRS, or general mobile radio service.

FRS, which operates on 14 channels between 462 and 467 megahertz, has an optimum range of two miles, but generally carries only a mile or so. Operates do not need a license, and channels are available on a "take turns" basis, meaning they are not assigned to individuals or organizations.

The radios must be small hand-held units with an attached antenna, limited to half a watt of power.

Bolduc believes Dr. Kicker may be using illegal equipment, with power of 25 watts or more, to overwhelm other FRS users. That would be against FCC rules.

Bolduc also believes the same man, then calling himself "Fourfield," harassed people on GMRS in Manchester a couple of years ago.

The Nashuan who tried to calm Dr. Kicker down on Christmas says the two have had previous run-ins over the air, as he frequently uses FRS to keep in touch with his father.

"Sometimes we will move from the channel we're on, but Kicker will follow us," he says.

He even believes that he once rode in a taxi that Dr. Kicker was driving, because he heard some radio talk from the front seat, but because he is visually impaired he doesn't know what Dr. Kicker looks like and couldn't read his name on a license.

If they ever identify the man, Deputy Chief Mulligan says the Nashua police would be happy to talk with him, the way officers often talk with feuding neighbors.

"If there's a neighborhood complaint, certainly we'd come in. A big part of what we do is keeping the peace," he says.

For their part, the radio operators who have been irritated by Dr. Kicker fear their best hope is that he'll just get bored, move on or maybe get driven away by other FRS users.

"I heard one kid who told him off in Spanish," chuckles the Nashuan
