As best I recall CW is illegal on CB.

Is anything 'really' illegal on CB anymore?

Naturally, if the average CBer knew that,
there would be a rush to learn it. :-)

I hear CW on CB occasionally and it's usually answered by some brutish
amplifier running channel cop claiming to state the 'law'.

I've heard some fairly loud cw on 11 meters, that stuff sure punches
through the noise. There's plenty room for both cw and phone so the
more the merrier to me.


11 meters is the last frontier. The sheriff never comes to these here
parts, so fire up yer amps and transmit any mode ya want.

That may be extreme in an urban area tho, eh doc? g

Designate ch's 30 and 31 to high or low powered CW, in exchange for the
am'ers staying off 36-40. Deal. (it's only a gentleman's agreement anyway,
self policing of course)

And they can't use AM on the uppers, we won't use ssb on the lowers.
I think we've been doing a good job of policing ourselves. The FCC surely
hasn't been doing it.
