Cracking down on itinerant use of VHF amateur frequencies is difficult
at best. Because anyone with a little knowledge of radios, say even
the "experienced" CB'er" knows that they can buy radios from AES, HRO,
and the likes and program the radios themselves. Years ago we had a
problem with Vietnamese fishermen using two meter simplex and two
meter repeaters along Galveston bay for a long time. After the wide
area repeater operators started turning the repeaters off at night
they found my cities FD repeater. That lasted about one week and we
haven't heard a peep out of them since.
