[bhstone1]

What happened to the video? It cut off in the middle. I am studying for my Tech license exam and find these videos very useful.

[K9FON]

Im curious about your antenna. Is it a Butternut Butterfly beam?

[B17MIKE]

BROADCASTING is violation of FCC rules for American Amateur Radio Operators.

FCC Part 97.3.a.10. (Broadcasting- Transmissions intended for reception by the general public, either direct or

relayed.)

If we corrected just 25% of the people for their mistakes and helped them improve their operations, we would certainly have a better hobby for it.

Go read part 97 once in a while and quit trying to defend technical and operational incompetence by N7QJM/LID.

isn't a cell phone a better idea...perhaps this amateur service has been superceded?

[aerobicastrophile]

They both have their advantages....

[onerichie]

tell that to people who live in remote areas where theres no cell service dude. Or people whose lives are saved by them.

[livecbradio]

This Publisher uses the word "broadcast" as a substitute for the word "transmit" to accurately convey his message to his target audience. The obvious target audience for this video are those outside of Amateur Radio, that he feels may not know what "transmit" means. He knows exactly what he is saying and who he is saying it to.

[CWBESTMODE]

It's illegal for hams to "Broadcast" on the air other then short test transmissions with ID, wrong use of the word "Broadcast". Also don't be a Q code jerk, on SSB there's no need for Q codes. QRZ means "Who is calling me?" or "Are you calling me?" It makes no sense at all to call CQ and then say QRZ. If we have "Experts" at least let's offer correct information!

[bvrj]

Actually, "to broadcast" can mean just to transmit any form of radio signal, which is 100% legal on the amateur radio frequencies (with a license of course). Therefore, the transmission (or broadcast) is not required to be a short test.

As for Q Codes: it is generally frowned upon outside of the CW modes (expecially by the CW operators), but it is widely used in other modes to shorten tranmission lengths.

(continued...)

[bvrj]

QRZ does not have to be a question, it can also be a statment such as, "I am calling you". On the other hand, like you said, you don't use both of them at the same time.

[KC0TCH]

bvrj, A broadcast is a transmission intended to be recieved by the general public

[bvrj]

KC0TCH,

It would depends on your definition of broadcast. It's not the best word, but again, it may not incorrect (depending on the specific definition intended). If you look up the definition for the word, there are multiple meanings, but the same overall concept, as with most words.

Regardless, we all know what he means. If we corrected everyone for their word choice then we would waste a lot of time. A lot of the time both people may be right or both may be wrong.

[strollby]

good,

[Roar2death]

Thats a odd way to call CQ

[badboy81791]

ya you should learn the phenotic alphabet m is mike not mexico pratice what you preach

[bvrj]

There are many different phonetic alphabets. The standard is the NATO international phonetic alphabet, but many others are also commonly used interchangably.
