[net.ham-radio] Bootleggers

wjm@lcuxc.UUCP (B. Mitchell) (05/22/85)

Lets make sure the ham bands are used properly.  If you find a bootlegger
operating in a ham band (e.g. types running pseudo-CB on 10 meters), please
do all us hams a favor - report it to either the ARRL's Intruder Watch
and/or the FCC!!!  We've had to fight for the spectrum we have and its our
responsibility to make sure it is used properly!  One reason the FCC is
favoribly disposed toward us hams is that we police ourselves  - we don't
need these lids spoiling it for everyone and breaking the law as well (my
breaking the law comment applies both to the illegal operation as well as
the illegal purposes, e.g. drugs, that the operation is for).
Thanx to Bob Purnass for bringing this item to our attentions.
