Echolink
Why not set up an Echolink node, which might present some possibilities. You may or may not use voice which might settle some of the legalities. eQSO could be another possibility, because it permits the presence of non-hams in a SWL mode.

I have contributed to many of the scav hunt lists an would love to continue to do so if a list of ideas is desired.
And if I make it to Defcon I may not have a Yaesu, but I should have an MBITR. :>

Ignore this clown. I remember him. He went crying to DT over his rough treatment on the forums. Remind me to bring him some Vagasil at Defcon.
Heh, I think I even still have his email in an archived inbox, I'll see if I can dig it up.

FWIW, you're still a tool. Nice try at being clever, though. Didn't work out very well for you, but them's the breaks.
Have a nice day.

OMGWTFONOESNOHAX0RING4U!!!inspanishthefirstoneisup sidedown!@!
Yeah, because nothing screams 'I ARE TEH HAX0R!!booleantrue!#!' like fucking over the freq. some poor damn speaker is trying to talk to several hundred people on. Thanks for screwing everyone else who paid to see the talk over so you could be a wireless radio terrorist marconi ninja. You must be so proud to be a role model for autistic 12-year-olds everywhere.
Awwww, why? I mean, if you're gonna screw with the people presenting the talks, why not go the whole hog and send room 2600 nine thousand rolls of toilet paper? That would be so 1337, because, like, it'd be room 2600 and 2600 is a magazine, and this one time, 13*200 made 2600!!onoesones!@! LOLZ, HARHARHARTEHFUNNAY!
Not. FOAD.
I'm guessing...
no.
G'day.

The goons use Motorola radios with encryption. No chance of cracking it, already been thru the Motorola securenet white papers.
Last year the wireless PA was gone. Hopefully it will return this year.
Generally a good idea to leave the hotel/housekeeping people alone.

Defcon HAM crap
151.900 has been (since 1995?) the "unofficial" CON frequency. Sometimes (Like Beyond HOPE) there was a Taxi cab on the frequency. Philly was always quiet (Pumpcons) , as was DC (Summercons). If it becomes too much of an issue everyone moved to CTCSS. It seems to have died off mostly, as everyone moved to FRS radios and no longer pimp the modded Alincos of the past.
Last year there wasn't too much activity on the local HAM freqs. There is an AES in town, and they sold an unbelivable about gear. And didn't question the lack of callsigns. I'm not sure how active the HAM hobby is, so the older guys might be happy to see younger kids interested at all in radio.

Originally posted by bascule1. Use of profanity is compulsory
2. IDing is expressly forbidden. You should only ID with a special handle of your choice that meets the requirements of rule #1, such as 'cockgoblin' or 'cumchugger'
3. NEVER wait for the courtesy tone/squelch drop when using the repeater. If the repeater times out while you're transmitting, you win a prize
4. Transmitting music is still taboo. If you want to transmit music, use the police band
Originally posted by A5. License, ummm, you need a license for this thing?
6. The band for 90% of users goes from 108-221.950 MHz & 303-580 MHz.
7. If hams in southern Utah arn't complaining about you, youneed a bigger amp.
8. Stay off of the pirate FM frequency used by Defcon Radio.

LosT, for your design, here is how morse code is transmitted most efficiently (and most commonly). We should both learn morse code, get general licenses and rigs, we can keep in contact that way. :-P

Speaking of HAMs, I couldn't sleep tonight, so while laying there trying to sleep I came up with a basic design for a device that takes Morse and translates it to spoken English text....and from there it would be trivial to send it to the net, an email ,etc....
