[PaQSO] Hello All DE WU3U

[morsenut at aol.com]

Hello all,

Well, I tried to put more counties on the air after being in CHE but after getting hassled by the cops at the Springfield Mall parking area yesterday, I went on to PHI and called it quits around 8 PM.

I have operated from the Springfield Mall several times in the past with no problems - this time it became a Federal case.

In PHI, I have a location that I never have any problems with.

The experience at the Springfield Mall has made me nervous about the cops in any place I might set down to operate in.  In years past, I never had problems like this - the cops seem to be more aggressive these days and I hate being made to feel like a criminal.

Even with just screwdriver antenna and an extended whip on my pickup truck - forget full sized antennas around here - I am afraid of another shake down from the cops.

I am sitting here in DCO  where I have not been on the air and cannot find a place to operate where I am confident that I will be left alone.

I can go back to PHI - to my "safe" location.

How many people still need PHI?
