That is interesting.

I know men who instruct in colleges, are trusted with great secrets, who
run amateur, who run CB who I am very happy to have as friends...

Then:

I know men who instruct in colleges, are trusted with great secrets, who
run amateur, who run CB who I am better off for not having their company...

See, their differences lie in their character, and not in their position...
and in that light--I suspect you and commander buzz share the same....

Regards,
John

| He is just another cber too lazy to get a ham license so the best he can
| do is attempt to slam ham operators. Ham radio out performs cb radio in
| so many ways it makes cb look really pathetic, and the cbers have done
| an excellent job themselves of making cb look pathetic by making 11
| meters the sewer pit of the radio spectrum.
