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
your emails, texts, posts and any other communications.

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
I find this list way too political and mostly one sided.
Could you please stop this and all political/religious discussions?
Or do I have to say something against your religion/politics to stop the
thread???
Thanks

I’m not at all surprised the FCC felt it necessary to make the statement they
did. And it certainly wasn’t limited to amateur radio licensees.
Anyone who has ever had a good chuckle or eye-roll over the “interesting QRM”
Wayne referred to, should know why. That QRM, more and more often, also
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
I too thought that this was a curious announcement, especially since it hit the
mainstream media. It seems more like a "hey, check out this way to
communicate." Those of us who are licensed already know this. The general
public doesn't even know we exist. The few in between already do what
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.
Well said, Vic. Amen!

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?

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
There was an article on the front page of today's Washington Post that
described people going to DC being assisted with their communications by "Ham
Radio Operators". There was also much footage of the incident at the Capitol of

So...the FCC *specifically* cites only amateur and personal radio services as
illegal for use in crime.
I wonder how long the list is of radio services that ARE FCC APPROVED for use
in crime?
Silly nonsense this all is. It does not bring credit to anyone calling
attention to this total

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.
The FCC just posted this:

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