Hull Man Prosecuted For Jamming Amateur Radio

Ofcom has successfully prosecuted one Clive McMurray, aged 63, from Lambert Street, off Beverley Road in Hull City Centre for jamming Amateur Radio frequencies. A big hurray for Ofcom, we never doubted you. Well actually we did, but this is fantastic news. Just another couple of hundred other morons nationwide to nail then. Please Ofcom knock yourself out and nail the bastards heads to the floor.

Interesting is the age of this idiot. You would think at his age he would have something better to do with his time. Everyone calls them ‘Lids’ and the implication is that it is not just kids that cause a nuisance of them selves on the air but as in this case and my own experiences show it is not just young bored teens that do this sort of thing. Often it is someone who has an axe to grind against another radio amateur or organisation such as a repeater group but also it can be some guy who has just lost the plot due to some kind of mental problem. Some of these guys started keying up, being abusive and playing music on CB thirty years ago and are still at it. They moved to amateur radio because keying a mike on an unused band does not get a response.

The RSGB report he was sentenced to:

Four months imprisonment suspended for 18 months (from a rope I hope)

A curfew between 7pm and 7 am for 3 months via a means of electronic tagging (Should have been 24 hours for the full 18 months)

Forfeiture of his van and radio transmitters, to Ofcom. (Awesome! The van as well)

CB Radio Cobra 29 XLR

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri buat semua rakan2 pembaca setia blog ini. Tiada cerita atau info menarik yang ingin disampaikan , cuma kali ini saya cuba membawa kalian semua ke sudut komunikasi yang semakin dipandang sepi. CB radio @ Citizen Band Radio dan juga slang rakan2 radio terdahulu memanggil Cerek Buruk, sebelum diwartakan sebagai Radio Jalur Rakyat oleh Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia @ Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission. Kenapa ianya dipandang sepi, hmmm, barangkali mungkin ramai diantara kita tidak sedar akan kewujudannya atau juga mungkin ramai diantara pengemar radio dua hala lebih didedahkan kepada radio dua hala berkendali di frekuensi VHF dan juga UHF. Sedangkan radio ini dibenarkan beroperasi di jalur HF , iaitu pada frekuensi 27 Mhz secara percuma tanpa sebarang lesen atau surat izin dari pemerintah ( Lesen @ AA). Walaupun kuasa pemancaran yang kecil diperuntukkan seperti termaktub didalam Warta tersebut, untuk mode SSB kuasa yang diperuntukkan hanyalah 12Watt dan untuk mode AM / FM hanya 4Watt saja yang dibenarkan .

Tetapi cabaran pengoperasian radio ini cukup mencabar , terutama mencuba seberapa jauh yang mungkin hanya dengan kuasa yang kecil ,juga propogasi yang banyak membantu dan mencuba pelbagai jenis antenna yang berkendali di frekuensi tersebut. Walaupun dimasa itu masih lagi cetek ilmu tentang propagasi dan juga lain lain ilmu berkaitan pemancaran gelombang radio, kadar kehilangan kuasa dalam feeder cable dan juga cara membaca Forward Power / Reflected Power RF dan bermacam lagi, kami berasa bertuah kerana ada insan yang begitu bermurah hati menunjukkan cara dan juga mengajar kami mengenali apa itu Radio Transceiver , Antenna dan bermacam macam lagi berkaitan radio.



Jadi, kami masih lagi mendalami ilmu berkaitan radio dan juga kriteria antenna dan juga corak propagasi terutama band yang diperuntukkan kepada kami, biarpun hanya berkendali di 10mtr dan juga 6mtr, tetapi semangat pembelajaran yang berterusan, akan membuatkan kami terus bersemangat, mencuba dan memahami apa itu komunikasi radio yang sebenar. 73!
