Literally, in some cases: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_direction_finding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_direction_findin... So the FCC doesn't even need to spend any money on finding them because the hams will do it for free.
- aidenn0 5y agoMy dad's a Ham and I used to go to hamfests with him. One time someone jammed the talk-in frequency for the hamfest. I was never sure if that was more like waving a red flag in front of a bull or throwing down a gauntlet, but the talk-in quickly switched to a different frequency and the jammer was caught.
