Removing a barrier is the only hope that HAM radio
has.
Come on, in the 50's 60's, 70's CW was still cool, and
we could introduce youth into talking to far away places
on HF.
Now, with technology being what it is, the Internet has
removed all kewlness of HF. Look at the average age
of HAMS,
The entry level code requirement and tech plus license
was created in 1991.
In 1997 there were 678,473 licensed
in 2001 there were 682,240 licensed
in 2008 there were 659,198 licensed.
Thats a decrease.
Even the FCC states that after the most recent license
changes eliminating the CW
That's a rather insignificant decrease of 2.8%. I'd say that's pretty
good over an 11-year period during which Internet use increased greatly.
A 2.8% decrease proves nothing and even if it did, anyone who thinks
that a 2.8% change gives one group new spectrum rights over a group that
already
It comes down to this.. Amateur Radio operators are licensed and Part 15
users are not. If you want to guarantee yourself minimal interference, then
you must use the licensed part of the RF spectrum. I do believe that hams
and part 15's can coexist with a little communication and the
Someone had mentioned on another list that ISM is above part 97 in 900 MHz.

I have had to deal with a similar situation. I talked to the guy and told
him that he was causing interference in our network. I gave him a free
internet account and he only uses his radio one hour a week, with prior
notice.

Jerry,
As with all good legal questions, the answer is: It Depends.
If the HAM operator is INTENTIONALLY interfering with your signal, then you
have a very good chance of maintaining a cause of action against him (IMHO).
If on the other hand, he was unaware of your signal at the time that he put

Jerry,
From where you are located, I believe you are being hit by a new repeater on
Mt Diablo. It seems the HAMs were using another freq and it was interfering
with military operations. They kept reducing power til it was down to
nothing. They then decided to use 900 mhz, it is only going to
Having been in the commercial wireless industry since 1990 and a ham as
well, here are my perspectives on the state of ham radio today:
There has always been pressure on the hams for their spectrum, and always
will be as long as money is involved.
A decline in hamfests should not be the only way
Jack,
Don't get me wrong - I am not advocating any
relinquishing of spectrum from HAM use. I will
say that if we don't get more into the hobby, there
will be more and more pressure for the FCC to
reallocate spectrum, as they have in the past.
It may seem like a small drop, but when you figure
Best offer.
Thanks

The industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio bands were originally
reserved internationally for the use of RF electromagnetic fields for
industrial, scientific and medical purposes other than communications.
So, other than communications were primary, then HAM, then Part -15. My 25
kW
By the way, we have been up there for 4 years - this HAM only recently
increased the power in the last three weeks.
What are they using the 900 band for? Voice, video or what? Are they
bleeding into any cell towers nearby with that much power? Is this a
small community?
