As a former CB radio operator who always resented the arrogant, nose-high-in-the-air attitude that the local hams displayed toward us (despite the fact that most of us were running legal rigs), we do know the tricks to shut down guys like you. Unless you have an eight foot high chain link fence with razor wire on the top and trained dobermans inside, don't count on the fact that you'll be able to mess up our Internet connections for very long.
You guys are an anachronism anyway - you get your jollies by saying you provide emergency communications, and sure, the authorities will use you in a pinch because you'll work for free and are eager for any excuse to prove that your hobby isn't just an expensive toy. But you've used your infernal Morse code to keep people out of your little playhouse for so long that a lot of the rest of us wish you'd just pack it up and find another hobby, so we can go back to watching TV and using our radios and telephones without interference from you morons. I know the complaints we used to get from neighbors when operating only five watt rigs; I can just imagine how your neighbors must feel about you pumping out 500 or 1000 watts.
The emergency people all have their own two-way equipment and we also have a large network of cellular towers. Relatively few disasters bring down both wireline and cellular communications; for those the National Guard could be called in, but of course they don't work for free. But for one real need ever 20 years or so, I think we could manage to pay them for a day or two.
The biggest laugh I ever got was the day I found out some of your two-meter frequencies had been taken away and given to United Parcel. Guess it proves you guys really don't have your way with the FCC. And, I know that real-time tracking of UPS packages has been of far more benefit to me than the existence of ham radio ever has.
Anyway, you start screwing up people's broadband and you'd better find a source of coax cable in bulk, because you're probably going to need it. Pins and wire cutters are a lot cheaper than coax. Of course, you could go with the trained dobermans, but then there's all that dog food to buy, and besides, they might enjoy chewing wires themselves!
Hey, $h!t for brains! The only ones who are interfering with radio and TV reception are moron CBers who like to turn up their modulation up to 150% and run dirty secondhand amps that were modded by a clueless, self proclamed "expert" with no formal training and no experience beyond twisting pots and observing the S-meter going up. Most of you don't know enough to comment.
Cutting/pinning coax is a practice invented by moron CBers. I am also a CBer, but not the kind you seem to wannabe. I run legal and I actually KNOW what goes on inside my radio. I know all the pots, what they do and how to "Mod" them out if I want to. And if I did, there would be no way to tell by the sound of the audio, or spectrally, because I know what I am doing. You guys with your golden screwdrivers need to get bent already.
Get your facts straight before you come here spouting garbage. Amateurs did not "Lose" two meters. The FCC reallocated the 1.25 meter band. It just wasn't being used enough. So what? You died laughing about something you knew almost nothing about. Way to go, moron!
It's the fault of moron CBers who got the rules changed so that amps are no longer permitted for radios that even come CLOSE to 11 meters.
Try stepping on my property to take down my coax and you'll have an a$$ full of rock salt. I won't bother with the dogs or razor wire.
My neighbors don't know when I am operating. That is because I run a CLEAN station. The ones who come to me with a complaint, I am willing to help them work it out, whether or not it is my station interfering with their antiquated, poorly filtered, defective equipment. Moron CBers will tell their neighbors, "Tough $h!t" and put up razor wire and dogs.
Hams welcome any new "member of the club". You need only pass a test. No morse code required. Guess what? The questions and answers are available on the internet! The CBers who are also hams are easy to spot: we don't do things the same way as moron CBers. We actually use our equipment to communicate with each other; not to see who's got the biggest bladder in some childish pi$$ing contest...
We build our own equipment. We help out in times of emergency because that is part of our hobby. We experiment with new forms of radio communications. We innovate.
Moron CBers imitate, overmodulate, hate and masturbate.
Anonymous posters have absolutely NO credibility; especially hate spewing, backwards, ignorant, clueless trolls like yourself who are too cowardly to join BBR "for real" and post a profile.
You sound like a grade A-1 a$$hole. I bet the reason you are a "former CBer" is that you got your coax cut and decided to give it up.
