Raybestos

It's okay, man. I already know where you live. I sat on you front porch naked for two hours this morning before sunrise. If you don't believe me, check out the crusty butt prints near the top step.

Do we know anyone around here with such a platform who might do that?

Probably quiet because of cell phones and internet, would be my guess.

Why? Just why?

Hi! I did the password reset a couple of days ago with no change. I run Android with Chrome as my browser. For whatever reason, the home page problem persisted until earlier this morning. Now all is well. I appreciate all of the suggestions and help!

Hi Steve! I don't know what happened, but I just responded to Uncle Yoda's post and "POOF", everything is back to normal, now! Thank You, All for your help and patience!

Hi Uncle Yoda! I don't know what happened. It was fine one day. The next, the home page is a jumbled mess with some words on top of other words. I can now get a very limited view of the first ten repeaters in SC, but not the normal control. Thank You for the offer to look up and translate for me!

Monday, 18:35 EDST. Home page still messed up.

I just did the clearing thing and no change. Thank You for reporting it, again!

11:00 AM EDST Sunday, Home page still a jumbled mess. I cannot access repeater listing but oddly still can access Forums.

Still messed up over here at 14:30EDST. I first noticed the issue this (Saturday) morning about 07:30EDST. A friend reports that he sees nothing on the home page. I did not notify Rich. I thought if a note was made on here he somehow got the word. Problem experienced on my Android using Chrome.

Something is haywire with the home page you normally get when accessing MyGMRS.com. Normal graphics are absent and there are words on top of words at this time.

^^^^This!^^^^ Most CCJ radios have direct conversion receivers and are susceptible to bleedover, intermod, and other stuff from within and outside of the GMRS band. What you are hearing may not even be on GMRS. Several excellent suggestions on this thread about using Morse decoder apps or posting the audio on here for one of us who can copy Morse, should help ID the source.

With the constant migration of police, fire, and business, Land Mobile radio comms to VHF-Hi, UHF, 700 MHz, and 800 MHz, trunked radio systems, VHF Low Band has been fast becoming a deserted wasteland. Surely there is available spectrum between 42 and 50 MHz. Motorola produces little if any Low Band gear, anymore. Kenwood has been a "go-to" for Low Band gear, but I understand their presence in that market may be dwindling with the demand. The military has always had a presence there AFAIK, at least back to the Vietnam era. Surely they don't need the entire 30-50 MHz all the time. I recall during what was the largest manhunt ever in my state, in February of 1974, National Guard APC's and possibly helicopters were operating on 42 MHz Highway Patrol frequencies to coordinate with them. They had frequency-agile gear and it sounded to be transmitting a broader signal than the HP radios, during the manhunt for 3-4 cop killers who murdered a deputy and seriously wounded another, as well as murdered a town police officer the night before. In the early 1980's, I would hear military aircraft doing practice bombing or missile strikes on local telephone microwave towers on 49 MHz. It has been many years since I heard any such activity. I imagine they too, have moved to higher spectrum. The shorter wavelength of these frequencies would allow for easier antenna placement in mobile or portable applications than with CB. It would also allow for better signal peneration into and out of automobiles, as well as brick and stone buildings. A real plus for rural and mountainous areas would be realized through dense foilage as well as "knife-edge" propagation over and around hills and mountains. Such a band would be far better in rural environs than UHF.

I remember in Middle School, some dork used to "finger paint" on the inside of the stall walls and doors in the bathroom. MyGMRS TOS probably forbids me mentioning the media he used for this activity. I don't think the janitor was happy about it, either. Edit: Good grief! This is still going on today per this YouTube video that popped up on my feed, this morning!
