I would say the 3 main problems with cb are; (CB is not a form of
ham
radio,
it was never intended to be, hence the name "Freeband.")

Not quite. CB is the legal 40 channels. "Freeband" is the other
frequencies (uppers and lowers) that people use to actually
communicate. It's called the "freeband" because the CB Rules don't
apply out there.

1. People coming on and just TXing over your transmissions

Happens on ham radio, too; especially if you happen to be using a
frequency that "belongs" to a net when it's time for them to come on.

2. Trolls (who ever or what ever they may do)

Like here?

3. People broadcasting music on more than one channel at once!

Bad equipment. Happens all the time. Even in commercial radio.

Cranus you are an apologist for freebanding, bootlegging and illegal
radio activity of all types and if your not using "hams are bad too"
as a lame excuse your telling people rules dont apply on "freeband".
The American (ill)Eagle SSB club disowned you before it **** the bed
and shut down no wonder your ****ed at legal hams.
