20 meters is the hangout for the 11 meter types who happen to have valid
amateur licenses. 14.313 has been a favorite haunt of theirs. In fact, I
shouldn't put down CBers by even comparing some (not a lot, but some) 20
meter operators to 11 meter operators.

Can't help but remember calling from the US Naval Hospital (KG6NAC) with
phone patch traffic - the frequency was clear and I had checked - and some
idiot from Hawaii told me to take my phone patch traffic elsewhere as there
was an important DX contest going on. Yep, you youngsters go get shot up in
Vietnam and leave me and my DX alone.

So much for amateur "service". Maybe Len is correct in some of his
observations. Unfortunately, there were a couple of patients, a doctor, and
a nurse present to hear that idiot. I did offer to give him the phone
number as I wanted to tell him what I thought of him but didn't want to say
it over the air as I didn't want to loose my license. He didn't take me up
on it

About the only thing that has no limits is stupidity.

Care to quote the rule that states 20m is only for dxing, and not for
general communications?
