Help clean airwaves CBers urged THE HERALD November 197T Pige 11 By TAYLOR Herald writer It la up to CB radio operators to police the operators who their CD radios cording to Glen Worsnop of the department of com munlcaUons They guy behind Hie mike produces his own problems on citizens band Mr Wonnop sold He and Everett Young attended a meeting group of CB operators at Sheridan College In Brampton Thursday evening to discuss ways of cleaning up the air waves Several members of the Georgetown Emergency Communications Service were present Moat of the ere present advocated the licensing of CB operators as one method of controlling abuse the air ways At the present CB operators must have a licence for their equipment but they themselves do not have lo be certified Mr said that licensing operators is being considered but the number of operators involved would mean horrendous ad problems The t going to get a certificate If It in mandatory Mr said In response to a suggestion that the certificates be optional I firmly believe Out we might get some of the garbage theoir If the operator has to be licensed one Brampton member said Mr replied that he has seen a draft and a draft proficiency test Tor CB operators The idea is being con sidered he said One of the problems members of tho audience brought up Is the use of illegal equipment to boost the power of the signal being produced by the radio According to Mr Worsnop it is legal to purchase the equipment The breaking of the regulations lies in using the equipment If I walked into a home and found a linear amplifier the use which is against regulation hooked up to a set and the set Isn t on I haven the authority to seize the set Mr said In going before the court use has to be proven When Mr was asked why stores are allowed sell equipment which regulations forbid operators to use he replied that there Is no mechanism in Canadian law allowing the department of com to dictate to people In business who sell what they can or can t sell It puts the onus on ihe retailer and the retailer won accept it It is difficult to convict operators who ore charged with abusing the airwaves Up until a year ago Mr said the was losing more than it was putting in as far as convictions were con corned The Fact that somebody hears your numbers Is not evidence because you can deny it he said We have to stake you out with a directional monitor and so on CB opera or can help prosecute those who abuse the airwaves getting names and addresses the times of tht offences and if possible tape recordings The operators also hove to be willing to appear in court to testily In the prosecution of a false distress signal case recently all the evidence was provided by General Radio Service operators Mr aid He said It Is very difficult for the department of com munlcaUons to spend much monitoring CB radio because It mokes up a relatively small portion of the airwaves under the control of the department There is a list of operators who arc being watched however The department Is con purchasing a new device to track down mobile units It Is a directional finder which can track down the unit broadcasting or causing In terference The basic unit costs ODD One possible step he deportment is considering is revoking or suspending the llcinces of operators misusing their equipment It easier to get an unlicensed operator than to prosecute for Illegal use Mr said Ontario may face unrest over unemployed young Money Saver Daily Specials One of three hopeful in he Ontario New Democratic Party leadership race says Ontario
