Which proves the FCC cares more about the ham bands than they do about
cb. We applaud their efforts to catch the errant hams, more power to
them. That is why they also go after the illegal cbers that attempt to
operate on the ham bands. They couldn't care less about the cb band
anymore as the cbers took it upon themselves to turn it into the sewer
pit of the radio spectrum.

(Hey, the CB band is like the internet. It is unpoliced. That's why it
is so much fun. It's like a chat room. Ever try to listen to any of the
ham bands other then the liberty net? Well, for one thing, you will fall
asleep in a matter of minutes! There just isn't anything entertaining to
listen to on the ham bands. Yes, the ham bands are good to have in
emergencies because they setup communications. But, other then that,
they are pure boredom. Not so with CB.)

Yea, if you have the mentality of a junior

high-schooler you probably would find the

discussions on the ham bands, things like

building antennas, equipment, learning about

other parts of the world, boring. If you like

vulgar language, and the sewer mentality,

then cb is for you.

But of course, you intentionally fail to list those who love a bunch of
long distance HF (much more on cb compared to 10 meter) without the use
of a hammie radio.
