After a quick read through your K4 pedestrian mobile exercise, 
it occurs to me you would get a lighter rig with a longer "on" 
time using a LiFePO4 battery. :-)


But what fun!

Too much said already.
Free speech is under assault.
A government that militarizes its seat of power fears its citizens.
Bottom line, expect your transmissions to be subject to the same analysis as

Re: [Elecraft] Waaay OT: A new kind of QRM to be aware of ... warning issued by FCC today

2021-01-18 Thread Dave Cole

Grant,

All of this topic drift into areas non-Elecraft, (and there is a massive 
amount of it), is a direct result of the moderation efforts Elecraft 
puts into this group.


If the group owners, (Elecraft), wanted things tighter, they would 
moderate more tightly.  If they don't have staff to moderate, then they 
should not worry when things get off topic, which for the most part they 
don't, or close the group.


This style of moderation allows folks to push the limits for short 
periods of time, between moderation events, which is why we get posts 
about everything else.  The longer the time period between moderation 
events, the further topics drift.


This method of moderation almost guarantees topic drift.  I would LOVE 
to see just Elecraft information here, and nothing else...  But not my 
group, so I just delete most non-Elecraft posts.


73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)

Could you please stop this and all political/religious discussions?

While it sounds dumb when they make such a statement, it is kinda like when
here in the US of A, one of the questions on our yearly income tax forms
is:  Was any of your yearly income obtained illegally (or words to that
affect)?  Now that you have been warned, they have a better handle on what
is required to toss your (biblical term for a donkey here) in jail.

I live in the DC area and as of yesterday, all receivers I own are on and
listening.

 My initial thought about being told not use my radio to commit a crime was 
surprise that the FBI wasn’t also sending me an email telling me not to rob 
banks.
I mean, isn’t it sort of obvious that crime is bad?

2021-01-18 Thread Louandzip via Elecraft
I see it somewhat differently and I don't see it aimed at me.  I see a benefit 
of FBI/FCC publicly citing the law as a good way to inform the general public 
that laws exist and using radios in the furtherance of a crime (ham or 
otherwise) is already illegal, and such crimes will be prosecuted.  My hope is 
that this will help quell any cry that "something must be done" in the way of 
more laws, regulation and restrictions.

 My initial thought about being told not use my radio to commit a crime was 
surprise that the FBI wasn’t also sending me an email telling me not to rob 
banks.
I mean, isn’t it sort of obvious that crime is bad?

The FCC just posted this:


https://www.fcc.gov/document/amateur-personal-radio-users-reminded-not-use-radios-crimes

I guess this isn't surprising, considering current events. But in case their 
motivation wasn't clear, see this interpretation:


https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/17/tech/fcc-radio-extremist-social-media-attack/index.html

Chances are VHF+ bands are the more likely vehicle for this form of self-expression. It 
might get lost in the already "interesting" QRM on 75 meters.

 Yeah.  It's out there in the public eye already, whether legit or not.  To 
many people, any civilian with a HT is a ham. They don't necessarily make 
distinctions between Amateur Radio, CB, GMRS, FRS etc.

Best to cite and enforce existing laws than to create more laws and 
restrictions that will only affect law abiding citizens.

I wonder how long the list is of radio services that ARE FCC APPROVED for use 
in crime?

Re: [Elecraft] Waaay OT: A new kind of QRM to be aware of ... warning issued by FCC today

Well I'm glad that CNN cleared that up and I'm so relieved to know that Amazon, 
Apple and Google are protecting me from unmoderated speech.

I guess this isn't surprising, considering current events. But in case their 
motivation wasn't clear, see this interpretation:

Chances are VHF+ bands are the more likely vehicle for this form of self-expression. It 
might get lost in the already "interesting" QRM on 75 meters.

If you are an ARRL member, you also received an emailed statement from them
today, reiterating their position on the appropriate uses of amateur radio.

It isn't surprising that those involved in the January 6 insurrection and
attempted coup used radio comms of SOME kind to organize and coordinate
activities. I hope none involved were hams. If any were, I hope that, at
the very least, their licenses are permanently revoked. Regardless of your
political leanings, there is no room for this kind of behavior in the
amateur radio community.

In case I’m misinterpreted, here: I’m just the messenger. This is a highly 
unusual FCC action that I figured would be of general interest. 

Someone pointed out privately that it could be construed as political — that 
was definitely not my intent. Misuse of the airwaves affects us all. 

Apologies to anyone who feels otherwise.
