I've been studying for my ham license. I hope when I get on the bands
that they aren't like this group. If so I'll be very disappointed.

Many of the lowlife here want to dumb down ham radio so it's Like CB. As the
old timers that know CW die off, ham radio will become more and more like CB.

You're largely correct on that but there is one point I have to make. A
lot of this on-air stupidity occured under the watch of those generals,
advanced, and amateur extras that operated in the 70s, 80, and 90s. Now
that Hollingsworth came onto the scene you no longer hear the retards on
14.313, 14.300, 3894.5 and other frequencies. Most of these bozos were
located in the Southeastern US and mostly in the 4 call district.
Although you can say that idiots have permeated other areas too.
