    The A-1 radio operator quoted by the OP likely DID get motivation by blaming others for this A-1 behavior.

    Obama as scapegoat is insanely popular, and well... it just works without any critical thinking needed.

    Well, Obama IS putting mind control drugs in the food supply and if it wasn't for people like Bill O'Really I would have never known about it.

    Nah, just that a staff member over yonder runs a site that caters to CB pirates. I could be mistaken, however. :P

    No, you are 100% correct, I hadn't been there for over a year and, don't you dare post anything contrary to the philosophy of the owner/operators of the site, they insist on keeping the population of the board blissfully ignorant. I disagreed with "Captain Kilowatt / QRN" (the head Amplifier Tek-pert) and, the Sons of Biscuit eaters deleted the posting.

    Zup, they are the QR-Zed of Pirate/Free-band Radio crowd and "Happy Hamer" is the "Karol" in sheep's clothing that works for Fred in the sell-trade-buy section at 'Da-Zed.

    Since when? POSSESSION of a non certified transmitter or amplifier that's capable of transmitting on 11M indicates INTENT and gets a citation for operating without a license. Don't ask, don't argue, when the FCC web site comes back look up all the violations. You'll see for yourself because you don't believe me.
    Does that mean my Johnson Viking 2 is an illegal radio ?

    No, illegal radios have to be modified to go on 11M. The Viking II is one of the reasons we coined the phrase "Happiness is a big Johnson."

    Pat's comment (I think) was that there's nothing illegal about a ham simply owning a MARS-modified radio that's capable of operation on 11M.

    If that was the case, there'd be a lot of 60M ops in hot water... :)
