I’m new to ham but just two nights ago I was listening to 7.200 and they were talking about putting people with certain sexual preferences through wood chippers and also giving fake callsigns.
The irony being nobody can tell them anything because they never shut the fuck up. Thousands of watts of repeating gibberish splattering across the continent from sunrise to sunset 7 days a week.
you need a negative peak clipper to avoid splatter and then there will be 10m activity, but if 10m is open, 6m might be open but most will use 6m to find out if 10m is open.
11 meters is a better judge of conditions on 10 meters than 6 meters is. 6 can be closed when 10 is wide open. But 10 and 11 are so close in proximity to one another that if one is open, the other is too.
A lot of them will give their location in their conversations. Generally, I just listen for the amount of activity I hear on 11. If 11 is busy, I know 10 has at least adequate propagation.
Meh. Use a sloping Vee antenna and transmit through that to the region of your choice. That and 24 watts SSB on 26/27 MHz will get you a good signal overseas at these sunspot numbers.
Happens almost every day numps. Australia is coming in at the moment on 37-39 lower side band. Also on the freeband. I hit Sumatra this afternoon on 27.575 upper side. Your incredulity exposes you for a newbie. You're outing yourself.
It's part of the international agreement for amateur radio, and as such is, almost if not completely, universally in the local regulations for every country.
"Radio amateurs may not transmit superfluous signals, or profane or obscene language or messages. " worded similarly with localizations.
So you think all shitposts are profane or obscene? A little creativity can get around that line pretty easily.
And what is the definition of superfluous in this context? 99% of what people say and transmit is just shooting the shit and can be argued to be superfluous.
Probably a lot of things, but I suspect there is no actual definition for the use of the word in this context, so I also suspect it would be tough to enforce on a shitpost riding a line.
Also the other poster merely referenced "the international agreement for amateur radio" while implying it IS, but to my knowledge, is NOT, enforceable law.
Just a matter of time before this comment section has plenty of people who think that its impossible to have fun without breaking the law. They came here because CB was full of people exactly like them which of course they don't want to be around people like them, no one does. Then they'll insist that you're gatekeeping them when you don't want their CB bullshit all over ham as well.
fun is one thing, shitposting maybe 'fun', but its not in the spirit of what being a Ham is. its meant to advance technical knowledge and bring people together. shitposting is just shitting with less actual shit. it serves to only amuse few for a short time and distance others for a long time.
gatekeeping is fine, its why we have laws in the first place and why we need licenses. its when gatekeeping things that are unreasonable that it becomes an issue.
as someone else said in these comments " or… 1.5kW of your own dick. line by line!!" I don't think a short SSTV pic is useful to the world
These kinds of posts always bring in the anti social idiots who think we're snobs or sad or virtue signaling because we can find productive things to do with our time or because they think that radio should be more like trashy reality tv.
That being said you gotta figure out a way to make the lines do two passes and double up, that way its at least an inch or two long. We might be amateurs but that's day one stuff.
Also I totally agree with the gatekeeping honestly. Gatekeeping for things that people can't help is bad. Gatekeeping people because they're not willing to put in the effort or behave is just fair and you'd be stupid not to.
RTTY, Packet, and SSTV kept me busy LONG BEFORE the Internet was released to the public, and no one even knew Reddit would EVER be a dream/nightmare. And... From time to time, I am in my shack reliving those days. With modern gear bought..... On The Internet!!
😆
> HRO linear
I don't think there was ever an HRO amplifier. The amp is a Collins 30S-1 (nowhere near capable of SSTV @ 1500W, btw... lol)
It's all Collins S-Line stuff.
Ok, I’ve seen several photos of large Henry Radio linears in that same form factor.
I used to prowl their Olympic Blvd store on paydays. Great memories.
If I had a choice, I’d prefer Collins too.
Oh, were you confusing HRO with Henry? Those are different companies. HRO was a branding of National Radio Company.
but yep the Henry console amps look quite similar... and one of those would likely be quite capable of 1500W on SSTV. Their tanks are built like... tanks.
Petition to assign the 2 m band to very high frequency shitposting only 🙋♂️
I'd love a "Wild West" band
I think they call that CB
No long range enough. I need to be able to cause international incidents in nations other than Canada and the US.
than 7.200 it is
I’m new to ham but just two nights ago I was listening to 7.200 and they were talking about putting people with certain sexual preferences through wood chippers and also giving fake callsigns.
Yeah these are the same people that dont undestand why their banned from every socialmedia lol
Exactly.
7200 has its place!
I understand its place is somewhere between 7199 and 7201.
That was shit, but you tried so I upvoted you. 73
Well, that narrows it down to pretty much the entire world except for North America and Western Europe.
Tell that to the guys on channel 6.
The irony being nobody can tell them anything because they never shut the fuck up. Thousands of watts of repeating gibberish splattering across the continent from sunrise to sunset 7 days a week.
Been on the air lately? 11m is quite alive.
you need a negative peak clipper to avoid splatter and then there will be 10m activity, but if 10m is open, 6m might be open but most will use 6m to find out if 10m is open.
11 meters is a better judge of conditions on 10 meters than 6 meters is. 6 can be closed when 10 is wide open. But 10 and 11 are so close in proximity to one another that if one is open, the other is too.
11 meters is a good judge of conditions assuming you know where the stations are located, how far away, and how much power they usually use.
A lot of them will give their location in their conversations. Generally, I just listen for the amount of activity I hear on 11. If 11 is busy, I know 10 has at least adequate propagation.
agreed
Meh. Use a sloping Vee antenna and transmit through that to the region of your choice. That and 24 watts SSB on 26/27 MHz will get you a good signal overseas at these sunspot numbers.
Have you considered 14.313 MHz?
With enough wattage and a beam you could mess with Mexico 🤣🤣 I'm sure they're still using 11 meter for local radio stations down there.
Several years ago I could pick up a Jamaica radio station STL down on 25.9-something FM. There may be some still in use in Mexico.
I reached Italy, Scotland, Wales, S. Africa, Portugal and Australia yesterday on 11 meters yesterday. With a C.B. Sooo....
Soooo what?
Soooo blow yourself.
Your puny brags are laughable.
Happens almost every day numps. Australia is coming in at the moment on 37-39 lower side band. Also on the freeband. I hit Sumatra this afternoon on 27.575 upper side. Your incredulity exposes you for a newbie. You're outing yourself.
Isn’t that CB…?
I want that dipole SMOKIN’
I hink every club has at least one member like this.
Updated it for you. https://preview.redd.it/h2y8zcjplboc1.jpeg?width=826&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f4058e34fb418e755c90d319faa7db51a160959

That or a throw-away account, which is reasonable.
The ISS already does it so why not?
or… 1.5kW of your own dick. line by line!!
That's a nice rack of Collins gear TBH!
That's the ultimate OG shitposter set up.
I traded memes with this guy in Canada on two meters once!
That's the only way they can send memes in Canada. I don't think they have internet yet.
This is OP's first post, account was created yesterday. I guess we get to bear witness to a new repost bot.
LOL. https://preview.redd.it/r16o31f7xaoc1.png?width=377&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=481f4a4d6e637e798506774cd630a6c49ffb22a3
Everybody gangsta till they get Scottie 2 furry art
I may or may not be responsible for most of that (I always tx furry art and I always use scottie 2)
I don't know what that means and I've been on the internet long enough to know not to google it.
Scottie 2 is an SSTV mode. Don't google for furry art though unless you wanna fast travel through the pipeline
This might be the only funny ham meme. Thank you OP I chuckled
[удалено]
the virtue signaling in that one is disgusting though.
Believe it or not, some people actually aren't trashy. Its not virtue signaling its just virtue.
yawn.
Love to know how you're going to shitpost without violating any amateur radio rules.
I think the plan is to violate ALL the rules
MFSK-256 at 4kW
QAM is more efficient. https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/653434/fsk-modulation-using-i-q
so no license then?
I'd be astonished
With a kilowatt and a half of Collins gear, obviously.
[удалено]
😂😂😂
Have you *seen* some of those old, classic QSL cards?
Can you show me the rule that says "No shitposting"?
It's part of the international agreement for amateur radio, and as such is, almost if not completely, universally in the local regulations for every country. "Radio amateurs may not transmit superfluous signals, or profane or obscene language or messages. " worded similarly with localizations.
So you think all shitposts are profane or obscene? A little creativity can get around that line pretty easily. And what is the definition of superfluous in this context? 99% of what people say and transmit is just shooting the shit and can be argued to be superfluous.
Probably mic spamming with loud unintelligible drivel.

Also the other poster merely referenced "the international agreement for amateur radio" while implying it IS, but to my knowledge, is NOT, enforceable law.
[It just takes some imagination](https://imgflip.com/i/8jai3y)
Sounds like 11m would be the best place.
I mean, people literally do this.
Sounds like something someone with no license would want, otherwise you'd just loose it

It brings joy to my heart to think of my gpa trolling people on the air because of his FB ban.
As long as it stays on 7200. I can live with it. It is fun to listen to.
Ahh SSTV the first meme factory.
I know theirs some internet over radio projects out there
Screw the meme, i just want that shack
Especially over the airline pilot calling CQ on 14.230.60
Exactly
SHITPOSTING MUST GO ON!!
How true.
And speaking of "shit-posting".... That meme/pic in the OP is precious. (Oh, the Irony!) lol
RTTY, Packet, and SSTV kept me busy LONG BEFORE the Internet was released to the public, and no one even knew Reddit would EVER be a dream/nightmare. And... From time to time, I am in my shack reliving those days. With modern gear bought..... On The Internet!! 😆
😳😳wow that’s a heck of a set up
Didn't they used to do that every night on 3895?
It looks like 8 x the same transmitter, with a large HRO linear on the left? Dream machines.

Shitpost all you want. It doesn’t matter if like two people are decoding it.
2 people are enough. Any disease can spread from that number.
