The Word is Out!

[XV2PS]

I was just wondering (of course, I am not in the US...),

How much all this public (= not anonymous) "crusade" about enforcement coming from "a couple" (because "public" does not seems to be the case for more than one "or two hams&quot does not actually emulate/stimulate some hams to make more mess on the bands, and preferably anonymousely now, which they were not doing earlier.

Again, I do not know what happens there, but "suddenly", it seems that lids are more and more given importance while it is always advised to ignore them.

Why not simply cutting them off in silence? Clean and precise, no post surgery bleeding,....

GHB, OM-

If you keep posting here I just might start reading this site more often. You have a damn good outlook on life.

Do not forget to write your anti-BPL letters,
encourage new amateur radio participation and generally be nice
to one another. That is all.

I just hope the ACLU doesn't get involved.
I mean, like, after all do not Lids have a first ammendment right to express their Lidom?
How are we to know if any infraction is not an intentional expression of Lidness?
Lids have rights too.

You must be talking about dirt.

Remember folks the FCC can pull any licence they issue for screwing up on the ham bands.A ham licence is a privledge not a right so says various courts throught the land.[CODE]

The first salvo has been launched. #

Riley ain&#39;t playin&#39;. #

A popular LID frequency is now open for new squatters. #

There will be more. #

For many, its now too late to reform.

You&#39;ve been HAD&#33;

This is HAM radio.....NOT CB WITH A TWIST&#33;&#33;&#33;

Ham radio only belongs to those who abide by its rules.

Those who have scoffed are now on &quot;short time&quot;&#33;

And its coming none too soon&#33;

Now, where did I put that Cohiba? #

It&#39;s because a certain group has taken it upon themselves to become the Radio Gestapo here. They dont care about solutions like you propose (which is the way to go). These miscreants have DARED to key up on amateur frequencies and thumb their noses at THE RULES and, therefore, as VIOLATORS, must be dealt with in the harshest manner possible (in this case, by snitching them out to the Government, since individual amateurs in this country have no enforcement powers).

You see, it doesn&#39;t matter that, in large part, such problems as posed by the &quot;Lids&quot; are, in many cases a response to the general arrogance displayed by the righteous among us. You know, it&#39;s funny. with all the disparaging comments I hear about the CB scum (who deal with this same kind of thing every day by IGNORING THE OFFENDER WHO THEN GOES AWAY), This situation with HF &quot;Violators&#39; and &quot;lids&quot; is exactly the same, except that amateur radio is a licensed service, so they can bitch to the FCC and demand &quot;enforcement&quot;, instead of handling it in the correct, &quot;self policing&quot; way that CBers do it. I guess the CB &quot;scum&quot; isn&#39;t so dumb after all.

Hope this serves to enlighten you a bit.
