80 Metres - foul mouth coward

[Bruce VK3UV]

This is Bruce VK3UV, I have a message for the person who has caused severe
and unidentified QRM to various nets on this band for the last 12 months.

Until you are properly identified, you will be referred to as "Yellow
belly - the coward of 80 Metres", this is because you hide behind your
microphone, and make unacceptable comments on the Amateur Radio 80 metre
band.



Dear Yellow belly - coward of 80 metres, I have to inform you that we have
had enough of your antics, and that there is now a concerted effort in place
to locate you and give your details to the ACMA for prosecution.



However, there are also some people willing to cause you a serious injury
when you are finally caught.

We do NOT want any violence whatsoever, and do not condone any such action.



We believe that we already know your identity and location, and our
concerted efforts to DF you will finally bring you undone.



Believe me, you WILL be located and formally identified over the next few
weeks.



However, we are prepared to offer you an olive branch and waive any action
and public identification if you contact me initially by email to
***@wia,org.au confirming your full details.



We will then arrange to meet you at a mutually acceptable place to discuss
any further action.

We want to assist you, and help you mend your ways without any
repercussions.



If you hear Yellow belly - the coward of 80 Metres, or if you think you
might know him, kindly inform him of this message.



If you do happen to know him, please email me with what information you
have.



Again, my initial contact is ***@wia.org.au.




Thankyou.

Bruce VK3UV

Record some of it and host it online. Someone may recognize the voice.

So go look for him

If that was indeed the case, you wouldn't be asking for help on a newsgroup.

This message was said almost word for word on 80 metres last night on
3.6megs. I heard it as i was doing a quick spin on the dial for any friends
in vk3.
The hunters have already started to sort out the logistics of tracking in
such a large area.

Further to my earlier post, thanks to those who have responed with suggested
names.
None of those names suggested is the foul-mouthed coward.
I have uploaded an edited audio file of him at this link
www.amateurradio.org.au\qrm\80qrm.wma.
It is as per what was said, the "F" word is every few seconds.
DONT DOWNLOAD IT IF STRONG LANGUAGE OFFENDS YOU.
If you have a problem with the link, email me and I will send you the file
in an attachment.

If you think you might be able to recognise his voice please email me
***@wia.org.au.

The facts we know about him are :-
He is approx 60 - 65 years old,
May be a Vietnam veteran, if not then he has been in the front line in the
services.
Definitely holds an amateur licence.
Lives on his own, and is a loner with few friends.
Receives "Meals on Wheels" each day.
His home is fairly ordinary and he lives somewhere in the northern / North
western suburbs or close-in rural areas of Melboure.
His dog is named "Rex" or Rexy"
Is on heavy medictaion and slurs his words often.
Is probably in severe pain hence the medication.
May have a permanent injury, probably caused in the war.
Gets on the booze of an evening and that sets him going with abuse.
Offers to help him with his condition have been refused with abuse..
His signal has a distinct hum on it, and he uses a linear amp as well.

When he is located, we do NOT want violence as that will wreck our case in
getting rid of him.
He is NOT to be spoken to in person or visited.

Kindly co-operate with this, I am co-ordinationg all information.
Once we have him definitely identified a full and audited report will be
made to the
ACMA.

The ACMA is also keen to have him in court.

Thanks all
Bruce VK3UV.

Well, he's posting using Agent - which when I last checked was still
exclusively a windows application. So unless he's using Wine or some

Well, if you had downloaded and installed the KLite codecs (freeware),

Well, I'm a FLAC/APE/WV type of guy myself. 1.5TB or so of the stuff
sitting on the HTPC.

Apart from that I go for mp3 for spoken word stuff, if only for
compatibility's sake for listening in the car...

OGG is fine but kinda futile, what with mp3 being so dominant.

And then there are countless other pointless formats which offer no
advantage other than to annoy the user...

Whine whine whine....about a few WORDS....'get a life' fits you. This
thread is about the foulest of the foul on 80m but you whine about
contemporary language every *child* uses. Listen to the posted recording

Ah now we get to the nub of it. Yes indeed children (the badly
instructed ones) do use such terminology. But Grown up adults know
better. Note that maturity and good manners do not just equate to
number of years of existence. You are just confusing childish
behaviour as acceptble when it is actually the childish behaviour of
some adults who should know better.

While every word of yours is a thing of beauty? Read your post again. Does
it sound pleasant?

Whine whine whine....about a few WORDS....'get a life' fits you. This
thread is about the foulest of the foul on 80m but you whine about
contemporary language every *child* uses.

Ah now we get to the nub of it. Yes indeed children (the badly
instructed ones) do use such terminology. But Grown up adults know
better. Note that maturity and good manners do not just equate to
number of years of existence. You are just confusing childish
behaviour as acceptble when it is actually the childish behaviour of
some adults who should know better.

You do realise this is crossposting to aus.radio.cb dont you?

Must be a digital harmonic...

Strictly speaking no Rob, I did not, I just responded to the tripe. I
apologise for those to whom it was not needed, but my observation and
use of CB would indicate that the same message is very relevant in
both groups.

You have to reconsider the fact that the CB frequencies were stolen from the
Amateur band
therefore, Amateurs were around years before CB was even thought of
It was started aaround 1940 in the UHF band as a short distance personal
communication device
then changed to the 11 metre band around the late 1950's and not allocated
in OZ till the late 1970's

I see some whining old cunts still can't get over it
wow they lost less than 1Mhz out of the hundreds available
not to mention that 27Mhz was a Military band in Australia and Amateur
was only a secondary user

so the Govts around the world taking back sections of the 70cm band are
"Stealing" your freqs??

27MHz was an industrial sewer. It was an ISM band, and I for one, was
delighted to lose it and gain access to huge chunks of 10m.

Really? , well maybe thats regional?/personal? then , i walked past a
catalina flying boat memorium thing in cairns (around 1997) and they had the
sigs van there and on the side of it was the logo/added name (like on a
aircraft) of chooks , so i thought that was endemic , but i have no probs
being corrected as that is where i got that from ...

No, its because back in the bad old days, before voice, they sent via
morse code, all the tapping resembled chickens scrathing at the dirt,
hence the name was born.

your most likely right. its just that i wasn't doing the hf portable side of

small shack resembling a Chook Pen. With all the chatter over the radios

The Vietnam era, as you call it, started hundreds of years ago Australia was
not involved till very early 1960's
CB radio, Citizens Band, Chook Band or what you want to call it, didn't
start in OZ till late 1970's
I don't remember any reference to a "chook" operator, but I was in the
Engineers and was more interested in bridges and roads instead of signals

start in OZ till late 1970's
I don't remember any reference to a "chook" operator, but I was in the
Engineers and was more interested in bridges and roads instead of signals

WTF? , hundred's of years ago , what the revelance is that to CB radio? and
times , CB also existed before the 70's , it became 'more' so popular in aus
in the 70's , tube rigs for CB fer instance , ERA?

The amatuer verses cb for 10/11 meters a example

CB- , complete bullshit , anyways , chook's seemed to exist , i seen em
.....or do i reed a "do not knock the army as i was in it syndrome"?

And if not what were the Engineers called , 'gay bridges'?, spanner's ? ,
meccano assemblers? , lol.....

That why 'sigs' (the radio people?) in the aust army are called "CHOOKS" ..

Signallers are known as 'Chooks' throughout the Australian Army. It is
believed the nickname originally came about during the Vietnam War. The
Signallers of 152 Signal Squadron SASR, based at Nui Dat were placed in
a small shack resembling a Chook Pen. With all the chatter over the
radios heard from outside, they sounded very much like chooks - hence
the nickname.

LOL , i'll still keep in mind chooks (as sound like cb'ers) , as if one
thinks of the era , cb , chook band was actually a term before the
vietnam era and i guess being called a chook was just one of those
things , use radio's=chook (all the same? ), like a grunt = grunt's alot
, thanks for the humor .
a bit off topic though :-)

The Vietnam era, as you call it, started hundreds of years ago Australia

...it's 'Cohere' in the Northern Territory - CohereNT is a place

Partly right Kev. Army reserve and/or cadets used parts of 27mhz on there
hand helds in the 90s at Enoggera. Don't know why they had them. Maybe there
was a shortage of vhf portable back pack radios. Maybe it was a training
thing.

I see some whining old cunts still can't get over it
wow they lost less than 1Mhz out of the hundreds available
not to mention that 27Mhz was a Military band in Australia and Amateur
was only a secondary user
so the Govts around the world taking back sections of the 70cm band are
"Stealing" your freqs??

Well I guess if you don't use it ... you loose it.
