Not all hams are rude. On the contrary, most hams that I have met
are
quite agreeable. They are people, just like everyone else. And I
don't
know why you wouldn't like ham radio when that is basically what
you
are doing already on the 'freeband'. The only difference is that
you
would be doing it legally. Does that take the fun out of it for
you?

No it doesn't. It may very well be fun. In fact there are a lot of good
things I would like about ham radio, mostly the tech side. I didn't
state
all hams are bad, just the ones I have talked to, they tend to treat
C.B.ers as second class citizens and I won't be a part of that.

S o your going to let a few hams who look down on cbers stop you from
getting a license? ,,you give up too easy is the real problem I think.

Give up? When did I start? I have been a C.B.er for 30+ years. I can count
on 1 hand the number of hams that have not slammed me for being a C.B.er. I
won't turn my back on a hobby I love and join the ranks of those that feel
they were gifted by God with their ham ticket.
