Wire out the window…what an installation….
You are quite incorrect. I had to take the code before I could get my
technician class license.
haha, funny largefrog19036 ham radio is a fun hobby people just like any
hobby, to each their own… the paranoia from that guy in the clip is
awesome in a way. “ham radio operators, you know what they do to radio and
television reception” haha luv it.
Its Dat CB Superbowl Channel 6 Cber Dr Fox! Hes coming over everything! My
HiFi, Toaster, Doorbell, and My g-DAM TV! All four Channels. I cant watch
the Twilight Zone in syndication for the Hundred Thousand Time!
@killerdalek They had coax back then? I figured they were all on 300 ohm
twinlead.
Oh cool, did they let you turn on the siren? Did they give you a badge?
I HATE people like that… EVERYTHING that goes wrong- Your DAM Antenna! My
Phone or TV etc isnt working right cause of you.. Im going to sue!! Im
calling the FCC! Ignorance=Reason for execution 🙂
I have to agree with Red, your a dipshit. The only problem with Ham radio
is idiots like you who think CB’ers wanted no code. Your a fucking joke if
you have a ham license.
This happened to our TV when I was a kid; we had to send away for some
Drake filter box for the antenna. As we found out, the majority of the
time, this was the fault of the receiving equipment, not the ham radio
transmitter; I think the FCC standards for OOB signal rejection got better
over the years. It didn’t cause the lights to flicker, or, for that matter,
the picture to be squeezed down to a 16:5 aspect ratio, thought ;-)) .
Or they (supposedly) come by on a windy day and leave something hanging on
your door. I’ve (again, supposedly) had that happen by the township zoning
inspector. He’s (supposedly) told the FCC on me, but either they haven’t
done anything in 8 months or they told him to piss off. And all those
‘supposedly’s are because I heard all this from the HOA Board president
(who is, ironically, the least of my worries right now!).
That array on that roof looked ridiculous. All of us HAMs are “threatening”
🙂 73
@killerdalek You are absolutely right. I never had an amateur radio but I
have over the years built some elaborate antennas for shortwave listening
which have caught the eye of some. Whenever neighbours complained, I found
it was best to be a good neighbour and help solve their reception problems
instead of just arguing my case. They tend not to complain after that.
HA HA, HAM Radio Lives…….73
I have a general license and also enjoy citizens band. Both services have
their wackos and lids, and ALWAYS have!!!!!! Code, No Code, Back Then,
Nowadays; THERE WERE ALWAYS WACKOS AND LIDS ON THE AIR. Nothing’s changed
except technology keeps getting cooler! SDR, digital sound card modes,
microwave, all kinds of cool stuff. The only thing i’m against in radio
are: 1) proprietary, closed protocols (D-star) 2) protocols that don’t
check for traffic before xmitting (WINLINK)
My evil ham radio antenna is less than 30 feet from my TV antenna….no
issue. modern radios have filters that eliminate the spurious radiation by
a huge amount as compared to back during the zone days. And modern TV’s
also have a high level of rejection. If you point a 15 db 2 meter antenna
at a TV antenna that’s 10 feet away and use 1500 watts…..I see an issue.
(Start flame war about CB radios and Illegal amps here—–>
worse than termites, lol
The ‘HAM. antenna on the OTHER roof is another TV antenna! silly billies!
JimmyDistant your a dipshit… that’s not true at all… Technician class
didn’t need code before the code free ham license. DUH!!! I would bet 90%
of hams where and are CB’ers.
I’m going to use this as part of a technicial presentation on filters
ham radio operators. they seem very threatening.
if i were your neighbor i would fuck up your t.v. and beat your ass.
whining bitches.. i guess people were fuckers back then too… call the
wambulance on the ham radio operator pussy.
@PennG0VQY Not anymore. Thanks to DTV Signals, we can blame the nonexistent
Soviet Union now.
Great lines, but hate the aspect ratio (maybe user error). DE N1ZZZ
Long live CB and amateur (HAM) radio. 73rds to all, 41HN3800 / ZL1PO
It’s been one hell of a spring for storms, huh? Just now finished pouring
again. For a minute.
