College campuses used to be different to, the "F" word now may be more
frequently heard there on campus more than on the radio...

You are so right, Mr. Backwards. Those of us who grew up in that early
era are fortunate to have known what radio was supposed to be like, no
matter what band.

For what it is worth, I started in ham radio (1962), had a ball with cb

What is silly is to throw darts at each other. There are good and bad in
both groups. To think otherwise is a rather bit shortsighted.

Which brings us to the fact that many good hammies cb on regular basis.




I grew up on the CB band in the 1970s. I may have my ham license, but
27 MHz still feels like home.
Unfortunately the quality of the people on the CB band has degraded
considerably on the CB band since the 1970s. In the 1970s I almost
never heard profanity on the CB band, but now it is a difficult to
make it around the 40 channels even once without hearing the F word or
one CB'er calling someone else a faggot.
