I don't know anything about HAM radios. But I've heard that there are serious penalties if one for example grabs a HAM radio and starts saying all kinds of non-sense on all frequencies.

But if radio wave can bounce off the "I forgot what it's called"-sphere. And can originate and travel all over the world. Then how on earth (pun intended) does the FCC find and give citations to people that are using HAM radios illegally or are not complying with HAM radio rules?

By the way. What are some of the fines the FCC can impose on someone other than revoking your license?

What about aliens? If signals are sent from another planet, does the FCC try to track them down to give them a citation too?!

I have had a Technician license for quite some time now but haven't talked in a while. I have a Vertex VX-150 Handheld 2 Meter Transceiver and I was interested in how to pickup/talk via Amateur satellites. They are just like repeaters right? How could I do this?
