SSB Technical Information Bulletin

Modulation of a SSB transmitter on LSB produces emissions lower in frequency than the suppressed carrier frequency.

A properly operated SSB transmitter using 3850 kilocycles will produce radio frequency emissions between 3849.7 and 3847 kilocycles, which are only authorized to control operators holding an Advanced(1) or Extra(1) class license.

General(2) class control operators would be in violation of FCC Part 97 rules when voice modulating a SSB transmitter on any carrier frequency below 3853 kilocycles when using lower sideband.

The specific rules that apply are:

PART 97.105b: A station may only be operated in a manner and to the extent permitted by the privileges authorized for the class of license held by the control operator.

PART 97.307b: Emissions resulting from modulation must be confined to the band or segment available to the control operator.

This information is provided by the class A operators on the frequency 3850 kilocycles.

Footnotes:

1. Should have more knowledge if received license prior to 1/1/80

2. Don't know shit if received license from VEC.

 

The emBSg Creep, Jerk, OO & Weirdo Standby

OPENING ANNOUNCEMENT

At this time we interrupt normal QSO activity on the frequency for a creep, jerk and weirdo standby. The purpose of the creep, jerk and weirdo standby is to allow those aforementioned individuals an opportunity to transmit without getting stepped on by one of the big boys.

Maybe some creep out there wants to scream "Break, Break, Break" or mumble some equally ridiculous words.

Maybe some jerk wants to bad mouth one of the Class "A" operators on this frequency.

Or maybe some weirdo just wants to make strange noises with his little radio.

It doesn’t matter --- because, gentlemen --- even creeps, jerks and weirdos need to express themselves and here’s their chance. So, for the next 30 seconds the operators of this frequency will stand by and only listen. So --- go ahead, creeps, jerks and weirdos. You’ve got 30 seconds to dump it in --- starting now!!

CLOSING ANNOUNCEMENT

That concludes another creep, jerk and weirdo standby. Join us again later when the frequency will once again be opened up for people like those to experience the thrill of their lives. We now return the channel to regular QSO activities.
