Why should the ARRL pretend to represent the CB Radio Service? It was
established to represent the Amateur operators long before CB ever
came into being. Who would want to represent the sewer pit of
communication that CB has become? Why would they want to represent a
bunch of idiots who haven't a clue as how to properly use radio
communication, that operate in a number of illegal ways and cause
general havoc on the radio spectrum. The ARRL should not touch CB with
a 10 foot pole.

I wouldn't touch it with an 11 meter pole. :-)


Morse code was never, ever required in USA CB...and CB
does exist IN the HF spectrum

CB is not amateur, and one of the rules of the CB service is no
international comms.
Not that it's enforced......

"you don't know **** from Shinola".

Well, you can't polish a turd...... ;-)
