Agreed, that is my point.

But I would hope that you'd agree that a

definite majority of CB'ers are running illegally

in one form or another. I have certainly seen

enough empirical data in my many years of

the hobby to make that claim.

I really don't. I would think that overall majority runs legally. If I
were to take a stab, I would think that between 25-30% are illegal. I
think amps are not as prevalent as are converted or export radios.

Illegal operation does not end with amplifiers.

LOL,,there is that assumed status you are so starved for,,,,,how in the
hell can you make such a statement? That's akin to saying illegal drug
use doesn't end with pot. You haven't the qualifications to make such
statements.

Anyone who's had a radio "doctored" (peaked,
clipped, extra channels etc), runs noise toys

(including echo boxes and roger beeps), or

laces his conversations with "four letter",

words is running illegally.

You are wrong. Echo and roger beeps are not illegal.

I cannot turn on the CB any more without

someone violating at least one of these

conditions.

Non-sequitur and personal testimony that you are presenting as
unequivocal proof. No see-gar..

Like you pointed out before, some of this may
be geographic in nature, but I have to assume,
based on my own findings, that even

considering geographical variations, that the

average still favors the conclusion that more

CBers run illegally to some degree, than those
who do not..

Very good. "Assuming" is not the same as you claiming you have
"empirical" data and I was glad to be of service.
