Upgrading means nothing. When an 8 year old can pass an extra - well,
that tells me volumes about the difficulty of the tests today. CW has
nothing to do with it. As far as the rest, you may well be correct. I
suspect that there are a number of CBers with more technical knowlege
than a number of amateurs.

Just my humble opinion, of course

Some CBer's run better gear than amateurs, but not usually. It's nice
to have a few cool hams on this board like yourself and a few more.
