Be careful about posting your callsign and "pirate" callsign on a freebanding forum.... it only takes a jealous git to tape you, goodbye ham radio. hello 27mhz!!

Re: Gw0wvl '163FB20' working into Borneo on 20 mtrs


I take your point, but its only a pirate callsign if the frequecies used are illegal. its completely legal to have a call such as the FB call and use the Mid band 'fcc' on F.M, its also legal to use the callsign on the 27/81 band. obviously using bands that you do NOT have a licence for is illegal.

the frequencies used in the video were in the 20 mtr band (14 mhz) and i do have a full callsign and licence for these bands. but i understand what your saying.

As for the antenna, its a HYGAIN triband 3 element yagi on a 'P60' 60ft tower but only wound up to about 40 foot, you can hear me winding the antenna up in the first few minutes of the video ,I was using the uk legal limit of 400 watts and a TS870SAT radio.

i had only just changed the coax and altered the elements after they had twisted in the wind. ive got some photos of my 'SHACK' on here.

A tape recording isnt regarded as evidence as it can be false-ified.unless its actually from someone from ofcom, also who is to say i dont operate entirely legally, even when using the FB call.

Re: Gw0wvl '163FB20' working into Borneo on 20 mtrs


its easy money for the government.
like you say "unless its a recording made by ofcom" many many people have been fined lots of money for operating out of band (all their gear confiscated). but it will never happen to me? until it happens!
everyone to their own though.
i had a private security company snooping my ebay account lately and reading my posts on forums etc!!!when they think theyre onto something they will surprise you, when in court.

My callsigns of GW0WVL and 163FB20 are legitimate callsigns.

I dont know where your going with this.

maybe your under the impresion i use 163fb20 on the ham bands and visa-versa ?

Re: Gw0wvl '163FB20' working into Borneo on 20 mtrs


no, but the "sticky topic" at the top says not to mention ham callsigns (or keep them between ourselves). not for one minute does anyone think you use a licenced callsign on pirate radio? but you have just made the link between GW0WVL and 163FB20 the latter clearly a callsign used on illegal bands..this website is called "freebanding" kind of suggests pirate radio? am i wrong? if anyone were to be interested in a ham losing their license and recieving a £2000 fine plus getting their gear taken for a laugh, they dont have to look far (or be a detective)do they. look you up on qrz etc. easy, but its not my license or money so i dont really care. i did however, think it was worth mentioning.. . de g4???,
