Re: jamming wifi signal
Jamming ANY RF signal is ILLEGAL. We had one guy up here in 9-land FINED $10,000 for jamming cell phone signals on mass transit. You may end-up JAMMING YOUR OWN WiFi! Hi, Hi. While I'm writing this, my WiFi adapter can DETECT six networks other than the one I'm on! That doesn't mean that I can can c...

CANCELLING MY LICENSE
Ham radio has become an unaffordable luxury.
How do I contact the FCC to cancel my license? I don't want to be tempted to return to ham radio.

With alll the different domestic and imported rfigs for sale, in many cases I have to google the rig to find out the bands covered and if it's SSB. WHY CAN'T SELLERS SAY IN THEIR ADS THE BANDS THE RIG OPERATES ON AND IF IT'S...

RODRIC LEGER -- RODRICK1RQS@OUTLOOK.COM
Received a response from a purported K1RQS to my 10.7 MHz SDU wanted post.
I asked a few basic questions: which one do you have; how much; what's the weight; and where are you shipping it from.
NO SURPRISE: The "perp" took cover.

Only one problem: K2PCH doesn't have an for the 736R on QTH, QRZ, or Eham and I don't have a "WANTED" ad on those sites either. Creepy. But maybe K2PCM is a good mental...

Hams are just like gas company workers; they become 'immune" to the flaws/defects in their gear just like gas company workers become immune to the smell of gas and use gas detectors to locate leaks. We've been through it with a house to the tune of about $35,000. The trick would have ...
