For example, in 1958 the FCC deallocated the 11m band from
hams and created Class C and D CB. Oh, the Hue and Cry they
raised in the US of A! Imagine, below-30-MHz privileges
WITHOUT TESTING FOR MORSE CODE! Imagine, NO TEST AT ALL TO
GET A FEDERALLY-AUTHORIZED LICENSE!!

All them olde-tymers quickly got into action to Demand Their
Big Band Sound BACK! They're still working on getting it
back. :-)

And like other fools you attempt to keep the myth alive.

Nope. That's not a "myth" but ACTUAL FACT. Look at Broose
and his constant "CBplusser" snarlings. "Lid" like operation
is commonly referred to as "CB" activity. All kinds of
nastygrams are sent when olde-tyme hammes have a need to
cuss out someone. :-)

In 40+ years of
hamming I have never heard one ham (that inclueds the olde-tyme hammes)
that complained about about the loss of 11 meters.

Tsk. You obviously don't get out much and your hearing is
way worse than Coslo's.

Go to the Comments at the FCC ECFS on WT Docket 05-235. All
them olde-tymers complaining about ham radio gonna be "worse
than CB!" (along with the threats of the sky falling, etc.).

The hams had 10
meters where they operated and rarely used 11, so the loss to the ham
community was nothing.

Yeah, yeah, tell us all about olde-tymer. In 1958 you were
just another pretty face on the TV tube (in black and white)
doing adventures in space. Very heroic. Your limited fan
base must have swelled your cranium past the ability to sense
ordinary terrestrial hobby activities in radio.

Buzziebaby, be prepared to go digital by 2009. And get some
better writers, okay? Your scripts in here are a POS.
