Did anyone happen to hear the IDIOT on channel 68 last saturday in Oswego? I've been listening to this guy the last 3 years, every year it's the same routine, trying to fire people up, and it sounded like he got under several fishermans skin. I say try to ignore him and hopefully he'll go away. One guy had his young son with him and finally told him to get off the radio and SHUT UP!! even then he kept at it. He obviously can't catch any fish with all that time on his hands to harrass people. To bad he's such a coward and hides behind a microphone!!!

SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

[Patriot]

Wait til next week. They all come out of the woodwork during the LOC.

[Crestliner24]

Yes, I heard the trash on the radio..... For the last 3 years as well. I do not enjoy listing to the language...... It is real sad we have to spend our time off silencing to

this. I fished for 4 days and did alright(11 fish with the largest about 22lbs). Was

it slow at time, YES.... BUT the radio is a tool..... not to be abused.

[stoutner]

i DON'T MIND A JOKE OR TWO HERE AND THERE BUT IT DOES GET ANNOYING WHEN IT IS NON-STOP. nEXT TIME JUST IGNORE IT AND CHANGE CHANNELS. 5 OR 6 IS USUALLY GOOD OUT OF OSWEGO.

[jekyll]

Is Rainbow Bright back? He is sickening. I change channels and take it off scan when he is on the Lake. I would like to pull his bilge plug.

[Dipsey]

Sat a.m. I heard a guy repeatedly asking for a radio check and then insult whoever responded. I could not believe what I was hearing. Pretty sad actually. What a shame to tie up a tool we all use and hopefully never really need.

[skipper19]

Find him and stick a pin in his coax....fried radio.....oops.....same reason I do not listen to the CB radio in my truck. Worthless scumbags abusing something that could be saving someones life someday.

[xdbcx]

I have been up a to oswego a couple times in the past few years and have heard him every single time I have gone up there for the fall derby. I could not believe some of the words/phrases that were coming out of his mouth.

[kliph]

I'm not fishing Oswego, but the guy may not be on the water.

He could be at home.

Maybe someone should have a directional antenna.

You find him and "talk" to him.

If you know what I mean.

I used to monitor 68, but have since taken it out of scan and told people who don't already know to find me on 78 or one of the other channels used around Mexico Bay and Oswego. 68 has gotten completely out of hand and the things being said on there are not what a little kid trying to enjoy a day of fishing needs to hear. Just for giggles, I put it back in scan a few weeks ago, but had to take it out again within 30 minutes. Nobody needs to hear that garbage any day of the week, especially when you're on the lake trying to relax.

[Gator]

Okay, the guy's abusive and everyone wishes he would cut the crap. BUT...this board is not for posting threats, as innocuous or joke-like as they may be.

Remember: #1. Family website, #2. Law enforcement is watching.

'Nuff said.

[waterlogged]

I agree with KLIPH!!

He probably is a shore bird and not even on the water, just getting his jollies by seeing how much he can irritate everyone.

I too change channels and aviod scan mode when this happens. For me that is the best solution.

[rustyrat]

What ? There is a channel 68 on my radio???

RR

[ray koziatek]

newer radios put out a sorta a IP address if and when the C.G. updates their equip. they can identify the radio and if they sent in their warrenty card the number is on it...and trace it to the regesterent (Thats why i didnt mail in mine ) but im shure he has a old radio...my radio has a" off "position that comes in handy at times..

[Misty IV]

While we're on the topic of radio chatter, did anyone happen to be monitoring Channel 21 and 22 on Saturday, early afternoon? Sounds like there was a boat taking on water, which TowBoatUS went out to get, but then later, it sounded like a search operation on 21. I heard one boat say they recovered (2) people which jumped overboard. Anyone know what that was about? I saw on the news the boat that overturned in Oneida Lake, but this talk was too close to Oswego, as I was hearing majority of the transmissions on 21. I think Oneida would be too far away to hear anything going on down there.

[Pike Hunter]

Now to chime in, I am thankful I am deaf. This is not a joke as some of you know me Im totally DEAF in both ears. I cannot hear any garbages out there. Imagine the silence I always enjoy whenever Im out there. Although, I do wear hearing aids occassionally mainly because I enjoy listening to the music on the radio.

[Fish Hunter]

The fellow on Oneida died, and his son was found clinging to the overturned boat, was what we had heard.

Oneida can blow up REAL fast. Seen it happen in 20-30 min.

1 ft'ers to 4 ft'ers.

[kingslamon22]

once you feel the breeze on your neck...its already too late. oneida has a bad rap for good reason.

[tangler]

Wasn't on water sat but had to listen to the rubbish on sun. If we ignore this crap i think it will go away.

[hooknup]

95% of the time our radio is off. We like to listen to the satelite radio instead

Got a good sugestion. Call the FCC. VHF radios are regulated just like any other broadcast, they are not CB(citizen band). There was an incident around Cleveland a few years ago, sounds similar, that guys were abusing and cursing on the radio. FCC tracked them down. I can't remeber the specifics, but it wasn't a cheep date for some pranking.

[shadster]

They can home in on a signal. Sound man from a band I played in had a little FM radio station under the rules and got hammered big time. They zeroed right in on that deal. I imagine they could do the same on the abuser with enough complaints.

[waterdawg1960]

I guess licencing is not so bad after all(Canada req. licence)!

[Shakemsam]

I guess licencing is not so bad after all(Canada req. licence)!

It was required here as well, quite a while ago. (although not really regulated)

I doubt they want to be bothered.

[CaptSpike]

On the coast if there was as much chatter, never mind the language just the chatter on the radio it gets nipped in the bud and fast. Yes there are times a few people get long winded but nothing like on the Lake. I hear more "cell phone" conversations when fishing Lake Ontario than anywhere else. The regulations state the VHF is to be used for operational purposes. I hear way more than that.
