So Cal idiots on 462.700 Kevin Bondy repeater

[Project25_MASTR]

There was a time when men were men and sheep were scared.

We say that about College Station, TX all of the time (school rivalry jokes).

Want to figure out where the repeater likely is...just utilize a directional antenna and something with a decent signal display. Note the heading at the peak reading, move to a different location and try again. Then plot those two headings on a map. Where they intersect will give you a decent idea.

If you read the FCC file in detail when they caught little Kevin jamming the mall with microphone in hand, the only thing that comes to mind is a dipstick that can't even reach the oil pan. He is a completely stupid dipstick.

The correct term is not 'arrogant' or 'stupid', but scofflaw.

Professional digital DF system for hire here....

 

[prcguy]

I have a nice DF system, thanks. I don't really care what they do, its just sad to see an idiot who gets fined by the FCC not pay anything and continue to be a complete A hole with radios.

True. Of course, the real answer is 'vigilante enforcement', equally illegal, but potentially more satisfying to the participants. The FCC has no real teeth anymore due to so many budget cuts, and civil enforcement is a joke in cases like this.

Effective elimination of a troll

This has been done in the past, and did work:

Make an audio recording of the foul language. Send a copy to the troll's neighbors, and to the local government. It was done in Metro Detroit to someone trolling a local two meter machine. Local law enforcement started stopping him and writing him up for every little thing. The code officers started fining him for code infractions at his house, and on his property, that they normally could care less about. The city just kept going into his wallet until he took his antennas down.

Yes, like someone said, the local government don't have jurisdiction in radio matters, but they can sure make your life miserable when they get a chubby against you.

The only effective way to enforce the FCC's rules would be to make them criminal laws rather that civil rules.

Just recently someone has put up a duplex repeater on MURS #4 frequency. This person is brazen enough to use their GMRS call sign for the repeater ID.

 

[prcguy]

This is in So Cal, mostly Los Angeles area. Nobody outside the radio world would care. If you gave or tried to give a copy of the foul language to a neighbor they would simply dump a load of foul language on you that would make the recordings seem like child's poems.

The conversation at your neighbors door would go something like "Hi, I would like you to listen to a recording of how your neighbor conducts himself on a two way radio". (Neighbor) "What da f***?, why are you at my f****** door bi***? Get your crazy mutha******* a** off my porch or I'll pop a cap in you. Bi***!" Fool!

Since the foul language is not a crime in CA, if you bothered the local police too much with it you would be on their radar for receiving some abuse. This would be purely an FCC problem, or if anyone was personally affected, a vigilante type situation.

I heard these guys when i was in So Cal a while back. They were on every time I tuned in to that frequency!

What 'prcguy' just posted is very true. You would make enemies with his (the a&^hole, not prcguy!) neighbors. Vigilante type of vengeance some times must be used. It worked in the past.

That repeater isn't on Oat.

"This case concerns intentional radio interference aimed at the licensed operations of The
Oaks Shopping Center (The Oaks) in Thousand Oaks, California.9 An investigation of the interference by the Enforcement Bureau’s Los Angeles Office (Los Angeles Office) on March 5, 2009, revealed an
unlicensed and unauthorized repeater transmitter in a secured radio communications facility on Oat
Mountain in the Santa Susana Mountains"

According to the PDF posted in post 1 of this thread References Oat Mountain.

 

[prcguy]

An original transmitter or repeater from 2009 was on Oat Mountain but I don't think the current 462.700 repeater is on Oat. Wherever it is it covers much of LA and Orange County in So Cal.

What about taking the foul language recordings to the local news outlets? Thinking here is millions of children's parents purchased their kids blister pack radios…hearing that language out of them could change things up.

LOL. Send in Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Clark Kent to investigate and if necessary, call Superman.

what do you expect om the land of "free speech" repeaters

ham radio repeaters that sound worse than CB EVER did

constant keying over top of each other, constant foul language, threats of violence sexual harassment, etc etc etc

the k6mwt repeater is a collection of the worst of the worst

the kf6phx repeater has also turned into a world wide embarrassment to ham radio

 

[prcguy]

Most of the people on the GMRS repeater in question have all the worst attributes of the k6mwt repeater trash, but are far too stupid to pass a ham test. I don't know how they can even figure out how to operate the amateur radios they use illegally on GMRS.

LOL @ this. Have you visited a public school lately? Walk down the hall and you'll probably hear more f-words than most R-rated movies.

Oh yea. However, how much if that activity actually occurs around the parents? Especially when talking about elementary agents students?

Depending on location, some parents are more over-protective about the language heard by their children than others. What's sad, some areas would happily run with those stories (I've actually seen it happen in they last few years).

For better or worse, the cultural taboo against juvenile profanity has severely eroded over the last few decades.

 

[KC4RAF]

Jonwienke, you're right, some parents think it's cute to hear their little one drop the "f" bomb, etc.
