1. Acceptance and eligibility
By creating an account you agree to these Terms. You must be 18 or older, and you may hold only one account.

Jimmy Bob licenses, call signs, and frequencies are simulated. They are not FCC licenses and give no right to transmit on amateur radio bands.

You own your voice and profile content. You grant Jimmy Bob a license to stream, moderate, and display it in the service.
6. Live audio and safety review
Live sessions are streamed to listeners. A rolling 2-minute audio buffer is kept for each live session so moderators can verify reports.

We may warn, mute, suspend, or remove accounts or content that break the rules or cause harm, at our discretion.
