So I spent the weekend with my friend and his cousin came to visit. Cousin is 40, he lives in a group home for functional tards. He works at Walmart, he's got the mind of like a 9 or 10yo, something like that. Maybe less idk.. I'm not sure all his diagnosees but he can't read, is clearly developmentally delayed, and describes himself as handicapped.

He goes to the bar for family visits and gets a light beer or two and then gets a little loud Lol but can't drink at his group home. He looks normal, and folks at the country western bar folks ask him if he is a veteran, cuz he has that brain injured look to him. But his tarded stubby fingers give it away if you look for them.

Anyways,
I knew he was doing some kind of HAM radioish stuff and only got the full story yesterday. I had no idea, but HAM is full of tards, legit tards. They get a mentor, they had to read him out loud the test (because he can't read, even 3 letter words like Cat. A plane flew overhead with a 3letter word for advertising crypto, HEX.com, and he asked me what it said). I had no idea that there are HAM groups specifically for mentoring the tarded community. I was curious as to how much of a short leash they have, or it's just a HAM training wheels group. But I guess there's whole groups of tarded HAM folks . I was pretty surprised by this. Autistic, yes, but legit can't read retarded?

Yet the tards are actually able to follow the rules while Karol does not. Amazing.

In reply to above post,
I guess if they let the tards have HAM radio status they gotta let schizos too

If you read his website, there is a lot of paranoid delusions showing. For instance, he claims that Riley Hollingsworth (Head of the FCC's amateur radio enforcement bureau at the time, had something to do with poor widdle innocent Brandon Duke getting railroaded into prison. The truth is, Brandon tried to kill a cop and recieved a long sentence for doing so.

Brandon Duke sentenced to 55 years in attempted murder of Longmont cop

BOULDER — Brandon Duke called it the Battle of Boston Avenue. That battle was a gunfight that Duke started with a Longmont police officer on May 8, 2010,…

He was mostly helping randos with general reception issues, discussing soviet history and the Ukraine conflict, and occasionally alluding to why he is only active on 14.313 and "the Hamerican gang". Completely oblivious to sporadic jamming attempts. Sad to say, that being that Karol is basically the last member of that feud still operating, his chimpout potential is likely far less than it used to be. I believe both of the main arch-rivals, N1FM Tom Whatley and K3VR Brian Crow, have been bitch-slapped by the FCC, leaving Radio Canada standing strong.

Slightly off-topic, but here is a guy with a huge repository of all manner of autism and drama from various amateur bands...10/20/40/80, UHF, etc.

Whatley still on 7200 from time to time but I don't think they engage Karol on 14313. But Karol still bullshits, like talking abut what he is going to do with the millions of dollars he has after he dies. He says his brother is rich so he won't leave it to him.

Doesn't canada have the ability to yank his license? US hams are somewhat autistic and pedantic with rules as they know that if they don't police things that the FCC will happily give away large chunks of ham frequencies to corporate interests.

Probably not!. The regulatory body for that is currently industry Canada. I suspect they refuse to do so because the relevant section of the radio communications act was repealed "32 [Repealed, SOR/2011-47, s. 11]". They could have had him charged between 2006-2011 but chose not to do so.

Yellow Yam Scam said:
Can you explain a few basics of how the frequencies work? Multiple people can use the same frequency, right? Can't other people just broadcast at the same time as him to drown him out? What are bands and how do they effect who he can broadcast to?

please explain as if I'm as stupid and entitled as CWC.

This is a very difficult question to make simple. Radio waves aren't easy to intuitively understand. Take a bowling ball and put it at the top of a hill between two large hills. It has lots of potential energy but no kinetic energy. Release it and let it roll towards the other hill. At the bottom it has lots of kinetic energy but no potential energy. It will race up the other hill and gain more and more potential energy and less kinetic energy. Then it will start to come back to you. The number of times this happens a second is called Hertz. Of course this number will be very small for a slow moving bowling ball!
Cycles per second are called hertz. The faster something happens the higher the hertz is!
Radio waves are similar. They are an electric field collapsing in to a magnetic field and back again over and over and over again.

Our voices at AUDIO (waves of air pressure) usually range from 300 to 3000Hz. From low to high notes. The higher the note, the higher the hertz, and the shorter the distance between the "waves".

As a fun aside, noise canceling earphones work by detecting the "tones" outside with a microphone and play it very slightly delayed. This makes the waves out of synch when they hit your ear. Effectively "cancelling" out the noise. But really it was added to so that you couldn't hear it.


It Lets start with commercial AM radio and commercial FM radio. Commercial FM radio works on a frequency between 88MHz to 108MHz. Commercial AM radio works on a frequency from 500KHz to 1.6MHz. A MegaHertz MHz is 1 MILLION cycles per-second.
Commercial FM radio stations are CHANNELIZED to every 200KHz or so.
1703778929747.png

This means they are given a channel to operate in. The bandwidth of each channel is about 100KHz.

1703779573159.png


In this chart I have laid out the spectrum from the lowest frequency 88MHz (It IS 3.4 meters long) to the highest frequency 108MHz (It IS 2.7 meters long). Amateur radio operators can operate around 144MHz. The wavelength is around 2 meters. So it is called the 2 meter band.
Because the radio stations are "Channelized" in the space they are allowed to use, they can transmit without fear of overlapping on other stations. Note that they are very strong on one frequency THE CARRIER and it spreads out as SIDEBANDS (this explanation is incorrect but it will do for now). You can't just have your one frequency. As you add information like data or voice, your signal MUST get wider (or use more power) and take up more bandwidth. It's the laws of physics buddy.
Now we know. You transmit on one frequency and as you add information your signal gets wider. In the case of FM radio a whopping 100KHz!

Commercial AM radio transmitted is around 1 MHz. That's a 300 meter wavelength. It's why they take massive towers to transmit.
1703780191372.png

An AM radio station will have it's power on a carrier and it will raise and lower it's power with audio. Changing the amount of power of the carrier is information. Information always makes your signal wider. Always. It's the laws of physics. In the picture above we see that it has a carrier, lower sideband, and upper sideband. This is Amplitude Modulation. Honestly, that carrier is really necessary. It doesn't hold any important information. We can get rid of it. The sidebands hold the voice. We only need one. So we get rid of the other one. This is what UpperSideBand and LowerSideBand are.USB and LSB remember that. So know you know a few ways radio waves are sent. FM, AM, USB and LSB. FM works by shifting the carrier up and down in frequency with the audio.

Amateur radio operators can operate around 1.8MHz, 3.2MHz, 7.2MHz, and 14.313MHz. The 1.8MHz area of spectrum they are allowed to use is called the 160 meter band, also known as the gentlemans band or the top band. Because the wavelength is so long it requires MASSIVE antennas and/or high power. It filters out the plebs.
1703780540045.png

3.2MHz is in the 80 meter band. 7.2MHz is in the 40 meter band. 14.313MHz is in the 20 Meter band. When you hear about hams on repeaters on handheld radios, they are usually around 145MHz in the 2 meter band.

In the HighFrequency (HF) bands there is some magic going on. With a modest amount of power (1 - 100) watts you can talk across the world! Your own communications infrastructure! Nobody can stop you* If he uses the 160 or 80meter bands he will mostly talk locally (within 500 miles). 40 and 20 meters bands will allow him to talk to most of Canada and the United states!

Indeed it is a freeforall and there are no channels. Only gentlemens agreements on where and how to operate so everyone can have maximum enjoyment. He once completed a regular conversation and once people knew he was on the air they started jamming the frequency. Some with tones, whistles and belches and some with recordings of him. Absolute bedlam! Intentional jamming is illegal.
I hope this answers your question :)

So for the non-radio spergs, how exactly do you troll people on HAM radio? All I can think of is talking over other people or playing something annoying, like an airhorn or Taylor Swift, non stop. I can't imagine the FCC slapping someone with a $22,000 fine for that, though.If someone was interfering with your channel, couldn't you just all move to another?
Also, how does one get a license, and what does one have to do to lose it?
Click to expand...
Yeah. If someone is being a jerk to you on a frequency the grown up thing to do is just "spin the dial". Some people have meltdowns. You take a test. To lose it? Probably just get a large fine for transmitting "out of band" (not in a part of the radio spectrum you're allowed to be), profanity, not using callsign, jamming, using excessive bandwidth, or going over the power limits.

FINDING NEW LOLCOWS!
I'm going to have a beer tonight and see if I can find some new ones. Maybe things calmed down.

By using a WebSDR (Web Software Defined Radio) providing access via browser to multiple SDR receivers worldwide covering the complete shortwave spectrum.
Goto http://websdr.org/ and set your filters:

I picked https://www.sdrutah.org/ . This page is a little confusing for beginners. Remember 14MHz is in the 20 meter band. 7MHz is in the 40 meter band.
I wanted the 20 meter band so I select:

You may have to hit audio start.
1703782714006.png

You will see lots of radio traffic in the waterfall. A powerful tool to find signals and listen.
1703782845008.png
Set your frequency in kHz (not MHz). Hams typically use UpperSideBand here. (LowerSideBand on 40m I think) For an explanation see above.
Scroll up to zoom right in. You can drag your "listening window around" . The yellow line is what frequency you are on. The sides of it are the filter. You can make it wider or narrower for the signal you are listening too.
Just listening right now there is some light jamming going on (not in the clip). https://vocaroo.com/111YxtPMseaf
