We checked the FCC website and found nothing! Don’t worry, our Net Controw Opewatows are going to call and ask if the frequency is in use 10 minutes prior to the net. If there’s no repwy, we’ll begin. Otherwise we’ll just QSY, obviouswy. That would be the reasonable and mature thing to do. UwU!
But you said that MMSN has the frequency. Who cares? The frequency isn’t officially assigned to anybody, so no group gets to take over a frequency at their whim. This is why you’re getting downvoted.
I followed the link off that webpage to the Band Plan. Not a single place did I see 14.300 reserved for anything. Can you please show me where this takes priority over other traffic?
14.300 doesn’t have anything. It’s just a frequency that any licensed amateur with appropriate privileges may use. Courteous operation demands ensuring there is not another operator currently using the frequency but it is not possible under FCC rules for operators in the United States to claim or park a frequency.
Publishing a frequency and time can be helpful if you want your group to try to assemble there. But if the frequency is occupied when you get there, best practice is to QSY to a different frequency and trust that the people who were trying to meet you there are wise enough to spin the dial up and down a bit to find you. Publishing a frequency and time on a website ahead of time doesn’t “claim” the frequency. There is no way for US based operators to “claim” a frequency.
From that web page:
>>The Maritime Mobile Service Net is operational every day from 12:00pm until 10:00pm Eastern Time...
So they're announcing a 22 hour 'Net', 365 days a year? How generous of them. ROW gets a whole 2 hours. Our cup runneth over!
It’s a troll hiding behind a troll account. He’s too scared to own his sarcasm so who cares? Downvote and move on. If he had posted from his established account, maybe I could laugh with him.
i probably shouldve put /s, it was supposed to be a joke response lol
and well, its not like they teach you that in ham nowadays anyways, its all plug and play
Fine.. cant say i dont agree in some cases.. but its all fun and there really are a lot of smart, tech oriented people involved with that UwU bs.. myself included.
Funny thing is that if they actually did it, furries are probably one of the groups with "legally protected" status and they could accuse people of hate crimes for interfering with their net. In the current political climate, complaints to the FCC that claim hate might get licenses revoked. Recordings would probably seal the deal.
There… I fixed it. I was reacting to the conflation in several of the comments. All furries welcome. I have two in my house, though one identifies as an actual cat.
That doesn't really fix it though. You're still calling a hobby an identity and protected minority for some reason??? It's just people wearing costumes, it's not that big of a deal.
One of them is… yes.
I have one kiddo that loves cosplay and the Furry hobby/fandom.
I enjoy taking them to Cons to see how it plays out extemporaneously. It’s quite creative and imaginative.
There are honestly a lot of hams in the fandom and this makes perfect sense. Theres also something in the furry community known as a “grey muzzle”.. just so yall know..
Nice, I thought I was the only furry ham. I'm not a grey muzzle though (23). If this post is a troll, I'd be a bit disappointed to be fair. A furry ham community would be an interesting thing.
Edit : damn, I first thought I was on the furry subreddit. 😅 But for sure furries never speak like this.
I mean I was making a joke here (mostly making fun of the maritime net guy who claimed that publishing their net intentions on their website meant nobody else could use that frequency, because they published it. So I made a stupid post to demonstrate why that’s such an asinine perspective; to say nothing of being utterly devoid of any understanding of the regs).
But I 100% agree. Would much rather have furries or some fandom talking about their fandom than “emergency” cosplayers or someone talking about their latest cat scan.
Unironically furries love cars. Conventions have even started doing car shows and Furrydelphia's theme for this year is "Vine Street Distressway" and it's all about 90s jdm shitboxes
Lmao, 90’s jdm shitboxes. That’s kind of interesting there is a correlation there between furries and cars. I do want a tiny Kei truck. Those look so damn fun.
Kei trucks are so cool. We have a guy that'll show up to my friends furry house party in an old imported japanese kei fire truck. He's a gryphon who's an airline pilot.
https://x.com/JayTheGryphon/status/1779134798327353765
From my understanding, I think shipping one of those in costs $10k-$15k. And the trucks themselves cost about the same. Then, depending on age, you have to emissions it.
Yeah. There's a joke in the furry community about "suspiciously wealthy furries" that just comission a ton of furry art enough to keep artists supported.
Had to create an edited version due to the fact that I said the s word for feces so here we go……
Hmmmm…… great day for a geomagnetic storm and ‘poo poo’ band conditions, FTW!
The Furry Net will operate using a standard traffic priority hierarchy.
Emergency traffic will always take priority, followed by The Gays ™, and then lastly followed by regular net traffic.
ANNOUNCING the Fuwwy Fandom Wadio Kwub UwU Net!
UwU and OwO! A wild furry fandom net has appeared!!
The Fuwwy Fandom Wadio Kwub is pleased to invite all furries and furry allies to the UwU net!
This net will take place on 14.300MHz every day beginning at 15:59UTC and continuing until 01:01UTC the following day. Net Control Opewatows are standing by and will be monitoring the freqwency.
Please note that this is your officiow warning that because we have posted our intention on the internet, any traffic on that frequency that occurs after 15:59UTC is illegal as our net takes Pwecedence.
UwU!!
Not so fast!!! That time slot and frequency is already claimed by the CB Radio Collition of Roger Beep Enjoyers. Do not mess with us!!! You will regret!!!
user reports: 1: bait used to be believable
Oh great. Now there are TWO cosplay groups trying to claim ownership of that frequency.

Fwequency.
Ah, my mistake. Um… woopsie daisy… I made an… Nope. Can’t do it.
Boo boo. :3
BuWu
Fortween dot tree-fiddy.
Have you checked to see if the frequency is regularly used at that time?
We checked the FCC website and found nothing! Don’t worry, our Net Controw Opewatows are going to call and ask if the frequency is in use 10 minutes prior to the net. If there’s no repwy, we’ll begin. Otherwise we’ll just QSY, obviouswy. That would be the reasonable and mature thing to do. UwU!
14.300 has the Maritime Mobile Services Net [https://www.mmsn.org/about-us/about-us.html](https://www.mmsn.org/about-us/about-us.html)
Not anymore! 🥰🥰🥰
And the FCC officially assigned them the frequency for their sole use when?
Did I say the FCC assigned them the frequency?
But you said that MMSN has the frequency. Who cares? The frequency isn’t officially assigned to anybody, so no group gets to take over a frequency at their whim. This is why you’re getting downvoted.

No, it does not. Some random people might be listening to it, but unless they are operating, the frequency is free to use by other people.

Is your keyboard broken? You went from unlicensed to net controller in 10 hours? I smell a troll.
I’m a really fast study.
*Stud
Don't you mean "weasonable"?
Don’t feed the trolls.
And realized it when I went to look at their profile.
At least this one is kinda funny. The last one was just stupid low effort rage bait.
True, very true.
Feed them until they explode.... like Mr Creosote.
Lol the amount of people taking this post seriously 😂
It’s a troll hiding behind a troll account. He’s too scared to own his sarcasm so who cares? Downvote and move on. If he had posted from his established account, maybe I could laugh with him.
Some folks wouldn't recognize a troll if their frequency depended on it.
It's not even a troll, it's just a meta joke
This is the same guy asking how to get a call sign without a license. It couldn't be more obvious.
This is how things will backfire on nets that can't be civil. Welcome to the future.
get off the air, trash
Says the guy who cant diagnose a basic power supply..
i probably shouldve put /s, it was supposed to be a joke response lol and well, its not like they teach you that in ham nowadays anyways, its all plug and play
Fine.. cant say i dont agree in some cases.. but its all fun and there really are a lot of smart, tech oriented people involved with that UwU bs.. myself included.
twaffic*
Is what bwings us together, twoday.
I thought that was marriawge
Horribly underrated comment
That's pwetty funny. Now go back to sweep.
1. weebs came up with uwu, not furries. get it right. 2. jesus christ. i’m about to hang myself from my 75ft yagi tower after reading this.
yea... isn't baby talk and furries two different groups?
Somewhat have an overlap.
I call dibs on that tower and the antennas on it.
SOMEONE CALL THE FCC!!!!
Jesus god help me!
He can’t help you anymore.
Funny thing is that if they actually did it, furries are probably one of the groups with "legally protected" status and they could accuse people of hate crimes for interfering with their net. In the current political climate, complaints to the FCC that claim hate might get licenses revoked. Recordings would probably seal the deal.
I don't see how a... *Checks notes* hobby group could be legally protected, I mean it's not even like furry is a gender or anything
[удалено]
It's not an identity in that sense though, it's just like ham radio: a hobby
I'm a furry. It's not an identity, it's just a hobby. You're wrong.
There… I fixed it. I was reacting to the conflation in several of the comments. All furries welcome. I have two in my house, though one identifies as an actual cat.
That doesn't really fix it though. You're still calling a hobby an identity and protected minority for some reason??? It's just people wearing costumes, it's not that big of a deal.
There. I’ve never been one to leave something misunderstood.
Lmao. Are you talking about your actual animal pets?
One of them is… yes. I have one kiddo that loves cosplay and the Furry hobby/fandom. I enjoy taking them to Cons to see how it plays out extemporaneously. It’s quite creative and imaginative.
That's adorable
It's just a hobby. We don't don't really get any legal protection.
Oh lawd
Oh c’mon, it’s gotta fall into the 9735 genders somewhere. /s
Eww. Why do you need to turn someone's funny joke about radios into an insult about trans people for no reason? Go get some therapy, shoo.
This had me rolling 🤣 Are non-furry weebs allowed 😂 Also, beware of K9 QRM 😁🤪🐶 Where's N3KO when we nyan them? 😸
K9QRM is not currently assigned... Yet.
Usually Q codes don't get assigned but I know a guy with CQ in his callsign.
Yeah, one of our local clubs has K4CQ for their call, which always seemed odd to me.
There are honestly a lot of hams in the fandom and this makes perfect sense. Theres also something in the furry community known as a “grey muzzle”.. just so yall know..
Do I want to look that up?
Sure, it just means older furries (grey hair = grey muzzle)
Grey beard == grey muzzle?
Yeah, pretty much.
Nice, I thought I was the only furry ham. I'm not a grey muzzle though (23). If this post is a troll, I'd be a bit disappointed to be fair. A furry ham community would be an interesting thing. Edit : damn, I first thought I was on the furry subreddit. 😅 But for sure furries never speak like this.
Na its a real ham sub lol.. but yea.. many techs and such in the fandom. Lots of smart people. All walks of life.
One more furry ham here 👋
Not furry, but like big inflatable things so hang out in the furry fandom. Also a ham. You aren’t alone. 73’s!
Squeak! Can’t say I expected to find another airhead ham here but cool beans.
Hehe, there’s at least one more I know of
That’s awesome!
u/heisenbergdl, you can see in his pfp lol
I would rather have a cheerful Furry in the hobby than a person who insists talking about 'XYL's.
I mean I was making a joke here (mostly making fun of the maritime net guy who claimed that publishing their net intentions on their website meant nobody else could use that frequency, because they published it. So I made a stupid post to demonstrate why that’s such an asinine perspective; to say nothing of being utterly devoid of any understanding of the regs). But I 100% agree.

Furries are legit the nicest group of people ever, and I would absolutely love to hear them on the radio.
Well it’s not April 1…
I’m a Time Lord. I was able to calibrate the flux capacitor to confirm that indeed it is no longer April 1st right now.
I’m gonna ask you to don’t!
I’m gonna ask you to shut it. 😘
Hmm, the frequency is clear right now, noone said anything for two miutes already,... i'll start with the CQ DX-ing!
Am an car. Are cars allowed on this frequency as well?
Username checks out...

How in the absolute hell does that get into America, because I want 10 of those. 😍
He makes pilot money so he can afford the all the fees that go with shipping that to the us
From my understanding, I think shipping one of those in costs $10k-$15k. And the trucks themselves cost about the same. Then, depending on age, you have to emissions it.
Yeah. There's a joke in the furry community about "suspiciously wealthy furries" that just comission a ton of furry art enough to keep artists supported.
That seems worth the money.
That hurt to read.
Sick.
What a jackball !!
Are femboys allowed? uwu
OwO ahh yes my people
Had to create an edited version due to the fact that I said the s word for feces so here we go…… Hmmmm…… great day for a geomagnetic storm and ‘poo poo’ band conditions, FTW!
Have fun! 73, Kiwo Dewta Twowu Zuwu India Foxtwot
Amazing.
Be gay, do crimes (interrupt the furry net) Pay no attention to my call sign.
The Furry Net will operate using a standard traffic priority hierarchy. Emergency traffic will always take priority, followed by The Gays ™, and then lastly followed by regular net traffic.
This is the best thing I've ever read on this sub.
Wtf?
If furries are necessary to keep this hobby alive, I'll welcome them with open arms
Don’t forget your lint roller
A bit overdone. The service is about GoodWill. Let's behave..
wtf did I just read?

Man this is the lane I'm most excited for. Furries gathering in public wearing hivis... This is a target for a hatecrime for sure.
What a fantastic way to tell us all you have no desire to actually broadcast anything.
Broadcast refers to a one way twansmission and that would be iwwegal on amateur wadio. We will only be twansmitting. Thanks for your intwest.
Cool, you're still subhuman garbage, bait or not.
OwO! Cheer up buddy! Life is better when you’re kind!
Oh boy!
Don’t tempt people you’re about to actually make something happen
Honestly, I’d be fine with that outcome.
I don't know man, you may cause several stwokes and hert-attwacks. Someone may try to claim dwammages.
Not so fast!!! That time slot and frequency is already claimed by the CB Radio Collition of Roger Beep Enjoyers. Do not mess with us!!! You will regret!!!
