Default FCC took 11 meters from Hams and gave it to CB'ers.

Drive by the tavern... tune past the CBers? ;-)

I suppose amateur radio is supposed to be more a high-class dining
establishment than a dinner -- suit, tie, and official FCC-approved membership
required --, although these days you wouldn't necessarily know it from
listening to the airwaves.


I think it depends where you listen...

This past weekend, I was active in the November CW Sweepstakes. Made
over 400 QSOs in 74 sections (all states except Hawaii). Lots of
activity but nothing objectionable at all.
