I have an FCC ID, Kilo Oscar [Redacted] ...
>>539682368Yea i just get on there and say nigger
>>539682368Did it once, lost interest, SWL now, need to hang a better antenna.
>>539682500Bullshit unless you are on GMRS or FRS. But on HF, VHF or UHF, you must say your call sign before saying nigger and that's against the rules homo.https://hambook.org/tech2026/pt2/chpt8/section-85-station-identification/> Key Information: You are required to transmit your assigned callsign at least every 10 minutes during a communication, and at the end of each communication.That's why radio stations say their FCC ID every 20 minutes or so, WKRP or whatever.
>>539682368Used to have a license, let it expire. Got into some arguments with the resident boomers and they located me via the repeater. Barely able to walk 70-something tried to start a fight on my lawn. The police came, he tried to fight them, got tazed. Got enough bullshit in my life than to deal with geriatric losers who think radio waves belong to them.
>>539682822Holy shit, story time, please! C'mon, please! This sounds like some real nightmare neighbor movie shit, what the hell happened? Psychos??
>>539682721>you must say your call sign before saying niggerBut what if you don't? What if you just push the button and say nigger?
Everyone should have a decent general coverage receiver in case shit hits the fan or your country has some crazy censorship.
>>539682721Not if your antenna is old ass phone lines from the 80sI literally hook my rig up to old phone lines lmfao NIGGER
>>539683083If you do it regularly the FCC will trace your signal and rape your butthole
>>539682368Hmmm
>>539682701If you have room, make an inverted V.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_vee_antenna
>>539683412>I literally hook my rig up to old phone linesAren't they noisy as fuck & completely untunable? How do you hear anything?
>>539683804if you only knew...
>>539682721> nooooo you must follow the heckin rules
There was a brief moral panic in the 1910's and 20's because young men were spending so much time playing with their radios instead of working or chasing girls.
>>539682368is there an active channel now for the lulz? 7200 and 14313 seem dead
>>539684175here's an example from 14.313https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U7rHad7HKwbasically there's regulation to having a license, but there's a few channels people abuse the shit out of the frequency. since you're supposed to give your id there was a canadian that was going mad on the channel for over a decade.sadly it seems these channels are dying. the canadian finally got a 20k fine or something from the fcc.
>>539682997He kept keying up his mic whenever I talked so told him to stop acting like a child. Ended up going back and forth a bit, nothing crazy. He didn't like that his boomer "authority" was questioned and thought that because he owned the repeater he could be an ass (that's not how it works). So he triangulated my position and thought his frail ass could actually do something. He showed up, police showed up, he got tazed, he tried to sue them, they had body-cam footage of him refusing orders and talking shit.Of course the whole thing is fucking dumb because you can just look up anyone's address by call-sign publicly. He thought he was being some secret agent or something, idk.
>>539683850>inverted V.Thanks. Had one at former home and really worked well.
>>539684453>>539684453That's a really funny story. It would be cool to show it from both points of view in a Black Mirror kind of way. Glad you survived. =)
Also I just checked the SWR on my antenna. 1.23 isn't bad. And the NanoVNA is cheap!
>>539684175There's a couple guys talking smack on 7200 right now.
There is a famous episode of Hancock's Half Hour "The radio ham". It was done multiple times (including re-recordings for making a record and for Australian TV), the original radio version is probably the best.https://youtu.be/lLA6Da1zWkQTV if you must: https://archive.org/details/The_Radio_Ham_Starring_Tony_Hancock_English_ComedyI listened to every episode of this during Covid and realized there has never been an original sitcom idea or joke since. Its all there.
>>539684051What's that orange tubelike thing standing up on the left?
>>539685761That's a coil of wire. Back then you needed tesla like amplification to hear shit.
>>539686129>it's a coil of wireGee, thanks. What is it, though? Obviously, people don't just put 3' coils of wire on their table just 'cause.
>>539685761Tuning/loading coil. Thing directly in front of it would allow selecting different taps.
>>539685761Its an inductor made by wrapping copper wire around a tube, the dial selects the 'taps' effectively changing the number of windings. Its for making the antenna resonant at the desired transmission frequency. Its is comically large though.
>>539683722Sounds like the kind of thing some government employees would do... Seriously though... What if you don't say nigger. No call sign no nigger. What then?
>>539686458It's comically large because in those days, the amateurs were on wavelengths in today's AM broadcast band. -t ham from 9-land
>>539682701Same. Listening more fun. What radio/antenna you use?
>>539686980>amateurs were on wavelengthsApparently a thing at the time. Write up for this receiver says that it's not only good on long waves but also on 600 meters.
>>539686374It's an inductor. Makes the rf from the antenna stronger. Back in the day alot of radios weren't powered and relied on the energy in the radio waves so we're very quite
>>539682368I listen to old coast to coast am and art bell goes crazy for this stuff
>>539682368
Imagine hunting Jews using simple radios
>>539687193Hard to believe this was state of the art just over 100 years ago. And niggers still bitch about slavery like it was yesterday.
>>539687642>Imagine hunting Jews using simple radiosThank you. Sometimes I find it hard to sleep and I've been running out of Jew killing fantasies. Hitting them with a 50 cal has gotten kind of boring.
>>539687792You're welcome anon
>>539687129>What radioHandful of cheap Chinese units + 'real' HF receiver I used for ham. The modern stuff is both crap and amazing. Heard Radio New Zealand a few days ago with $14 radio pictured and 20 foot longwire.
