This is a recording from the early 1980s (possibly December 1981) of mischievous amateur radio operators (hams) that like to have a lot of fun while talking on their radios. On this recording, I used my Bearcat 300 scanner radio at my home in Martinez, California to receive the 146.82 MHz repeater located in the hills of Berkeley, California. The scanner audio was fed to the line input of my Shure M67 mixer and the mixer line out connected to line in on my Superscope C-104 Cassette tape recorder.
Many times these amateur radio operators would play the audio of broadcast stations, and other amateur stations and tapes. Quite often they would make strange noises, not identify their call-signs, use foul language, and make other amateurs upset. I could go on, but if you listen to this and my other recordings of ham radio jammers, I suspect that it will make quite clear what jamming is all about. Incidentally, this tape is fairly clear of really extreme foul language except for an occasional sexual reference. Maybe it’s because the jammers are discussing religion.

Weatherman, out of curiousity I’ve looked up some of the call letters of the hams in this and the other recordings you have posted. It is interesting that a few of them are still active today. Weatherman, do you still listen to them today?
I’m not able to listen to the Berkeley, California repeater, but I do listen online to W6NUT (147.435 MHZ) from the Los Angeles, California area.
The recording does not sound familiar from the early 1980s, but rather later; perhaps late 80s or 90-something. The repeater was on 146.40 until the early 80s when David Farrone, WB6KOS took it over. The religious talk came much later, too.

I was one of the nasty jammers WA6JIY on there but the FCC and the FBI came over and I had a talk with Steven Shefler US prosecuting attorney and I had to run with my tail between my legs. Now I cuss those old hams on the email and I cuss that dogsucker Obama too. U can dial me up any time. Gary Wino Kerr
BHU – This isn’t from SoCal, it’s SF Bay Area, and it sounds legit late-summer 1982. I recognize quite a few voices in it. N6AYJ went on to become W6WBJ (canceled as of last week).
