I know that. My question is why would he be running 15.221 instead of 15.219? And as far is not being able to adjust it down is total fiction. I guess I don't understand your point.. It's a school station on a campus so he's operating under .221 Are you saying a campus install also has the option to run 15.219? (to be honest I'm really not sure, I've not explored any of that route), if that's the case then maybe he chooses 15.221 to teach and illustrate the methods involved with campus broadcasting since a school campus is the location of the install of the students operating it... I don't know, that's just a guess. But regardless the reason, why is something so wrong about it? Because he's not utilizing the rules to their maximum potential? - Maybe he wants to be absolutely certain not to risk a NOUO - because if it got cited, then that would seriously diminish any legitimacy of what he's been promoting all this time. There are antique radio collectors who choose to broadcast extremely limited range AM, is something not right about that too? I guess I just don't understand where you're coming from. More is not always the best option. Never mind. You don't get it. I'm sorry I mentioned it.

I get it Druid; You're asking why is he running 15.221 when 15.219 would give him more range...
I don't know, I guess he don't want more range.

Well maybe you should be a member! I know there are frustrations amongst some but it's time to let thing go.. no? I have let things go however Mr bill has not. he won't let me anywhere near forum membership. he has a lifetime ban on me for nothing more than sharing information among the part 15 community. that is what started his fascination with heavy handed forum security.

I think he's a bit too heavy handed with the forum security too, but well, it's his site and he can run it the way he wants. Hopefully the day will come that it relaxes a little and becomes more open. I have attempted to bridge the divide between sites before (strictly on my own accord) because I feel like everything would be better if all sites were comrades, but my attempts always ends up biting me in the ass from all directions, plus I find myself getting bent out of shape over silly differences and sometimes making things worse... So I guess sometimes just accepting things the way they are is the best bet.
So I apologize for when I'm sometimes an ass... or a smartass.

I welcome End80's (and anyone from that Forum) continuing participation here. Different points of view only make this Forum stronger.
Obviously, people can choose not to participate 'over there' for various reasons, and that's their perogative (and on them). However, if those people are willing and able to participate there, and refused for no good reason (at least in terms of providing content), then that's on the site and its administrator.

Since this thread has migrated to the "other site" I'd like to say I would join and have no reason to have anything against the site or the Admin. but I can't because I don't have an email address provided by an internet provider(IP). My provider, Worldline, doesn't even provide email addresses and I have my email with Yahoo and have ever since I had an email address. I can't even contact the admin. there for the same reason. This is ridiculous to say the least because it prevents maybe 2/3rds of the North American population and a good many people into this hobby from joining. What's wrong with an email with Google or Yahoo? That's like saying I can't join a gym because the owner doesn't like where I live. Also from what I've heard, and End 80 can correct me if I'm wrong but I get the impression that HB is strictly a part 15 forum and wouldn't welcome members from another country where their rules my differ from the USA where this forum and part 15.us is more open to members other than the USA.
How has having a web based email address not provided by an IP hurt this or part 15 .us forum?

Mark, I'd be happy to provide you an email address on my server (airpower.com) if you'd like. My email domain was acceptable to Bill but he later banned me for some other reason. Jim

Thanks, I will take that into consideration but that's like moving to a different street so I can join a chess club! Also as soon as he knows I'm from Canada he would know that server isn't in Canada. Or something is up. I edited my post to add the question how has a Google or Yahoo email hurt this forum or part 15.us? And what does my email address have to do with posting on a forum and obeying the rules of that forum? I would really like to hear his view as such a stipulation is just not logical. But it's not important enough to me to worry about.

My guess is the domain ban is due to spammers, since they often use them as disposable addresses to do their nasty deeds.
A long time ago my friend was on a IRC system that banned AOL members, and I thought, why have access for some and not others, it's the net, where we're supposed to erase barriers.
Maybe the site is like a club, and it's like a test to get in, and if you pass it, you'll tend to treat the group better, you worked to earn the membership, you've been accepted into the pack.
Myself, I just want to use only one site.

except when it comes to him lifting info from part 15 us and thealpb to use on his site that's ok, but lifting content from his site for use on part 15 us or thealpb is not.

Yeah he sent a Cease and Desist order to the company that hosts this site about me posting something he said from his site. Funny thing though, as secretive as he is, I was forwarded his request for deletion and I now have all his personal info like tel# email addy etc.

Unbelievable!
And here I thought that he might be mellowing a bit.
I should have known better.
I almost brought this up previously in the thread, and now there seems no reason not to. Years ago, I posted a comment on Radio Survivor, pointing out several procedural flaws in the HB AM Trasmitter Challenge. A few months ago (!?) I got an e-mail that someone had posted a reply on that site. Lo and behold, it was good ol' Bill!
The only reason I can think of that he would bother to open up that old can of worms so much time later is that he recently appeared on a Radio Survivor podcast.
Now, he did not comment on the factual content of my post. Nor did he acknowledge that he had indeed proved some of my assertions correct in his own Forum later (in disussions surrounding the results of the AMT5000 transmiter, and the hypothesis that he did not have it operating optimally, i.e., Class E). Those discussions are now buried behind closed doors, of course.
Instead, he spent his entire post (quite lengthy) discussing the professional qualifications of the testers, and the lack of (broadcast engineering) qualifications of those (including myself) who have dared to question the results of the testing.
Bill conveniently forgets the need for professional qualification when he talks as if he's a computer expert.
And in my various travails in the computer industry, I've had the need to hire engineers on occasion. Some have been very knowledgeable, others not so much so. Like in any other profession. I personally believe what makes a great engineer, or computer professional, or whatever, is the ability to look critically at your own work, listen to others, and be willing to learn from your mistakes. Which we all make.
But I guess you can't expect that from an individual that spends 1 page in a 13 page e-book talking about his accomplishments (never mind including numerous photograhs of himself).

Yeah, you'd think that if HB is the "reference for legal low power broadcasting" he would welcome having his forum's posts being quoted elsewhere, that they refer to his site for info. I did say I have nothing against the site or him as I don't know the man, and why he thinks like he does, and would like to hear his side of things.
