How come people are discussing CB amps on this reflector? Is this thing FCC type accepted? I guess this list is one where it is ok to post ebay info. Thanks 73's George W5GRG ________________________

Seems that Will brought the subject up because there are a lot of CB amps that are candidates for conversion to amateur service... not the other way around. Seems like a good way to put get into a mo

Tony, Amen! It seems some get uptight about the mere mention of using anything concerning 11 meters when the equipment is made the same as amateur equipment and/or can be readily adapted to it. I thi

I see the conversion of CB amp to ham service as a type of philanthropy... It takes them out of CB service, and makes them useful as ham amps! They don't need to be type accepted because, for our pur
Will, I would encourage you to re-join the ranks. Quitting doesn't make it better. It's what we do that makes a difference. If we want to listen, there will always be enough nay sayers to discourage
Indeed, Bill, and if one questions the bum dope they regurgitate, one is quite likely to get plumb throwed out -- especially if they are a drinkin' buddy of the moderator. TopBand is another such gro

OK, I have got to reply. Most of the hams that build amplifiers for 11 meter operators and those that know little about RF are illegal CBers that have taken the relative easy exams and gotten ham tic
I use my ham rigs outside the ham bands every day. I also exceed the legal ham power limit every day. I am required to hold a valid ham license to do so. Mike k1ern __________________________________

Bill, See Below; Bill, that happens every day whether we want to believe it or not. However, it's not quiet as bad now as it was as the old timers who were thick into it are long gone, or retired. Wh
There is an event like this -- it's called "Vintage Field Day" and is around the first weekend in June. Of course, it's not a requirement to operate it, and I have been busy the last few, but my Viki
Dennis, I highly doubt there are just a small handfull of us that could construct a tubed piece of equipmet like a transceiver. There's only one US manufacturer I know of left making receiving type t
Will, since you no longer have a ham ticket, and dabbling in cb amps can't cause you to loose it. What was your old call and what years were you licensed ?? 73, John WA4TT ___________________________
John, To be very honest, I only held a novice ticket for about two years around 1980-1982 I think it was or maybe a little after that. It's been so long, I cant even remember what my call sign was, e
It would be interesting to me to read the explanation for this seeming anomaly. The statements, as given, do not fit together, logically, (or legally.) Bill Bill Aycock - W4BSG Woodville, Alabama ___
I worked with a fellow who I tried to discourage he and his son from using ham gear on the 11 meter portion of the band. They got caught red-handed, I was accused (I did not) of snitching him out to
