Do Hams get 11 Meters Back, as soon as all the CBers upgrade to
there
Free
Handout Ham Licenses?
We didn't "lose" 11M, we just had use CB reddios radios
It's "reddios" on 11M and radios on 12M and elsewhere. "When in Rome
do as the Romans do."
Sorry, Brian. Within the circles that I operate, It's "radios." (On both 11m
and the ham bands. YMMV.)
It sure does!!
FYI, folks here are QSX when they're monitoring
the frequency. I rarely hear the annoying "I'm QRT and on the side" anymore,
thank goodness. :-)
I was involved in trying to use CB for it's original intended purpose
in the mid-'70s in 23 channel days. Specifically for comms for a
municipal Townwatch group of 135 citizens 95% of whom had no interest
at all in hobby radio and just wanted reasonably decent local
neighborhood mobile comms. The disgusted group would have fallen apart
if I hadn't moved the operation up onto a VHF business freq to get
away from the CB crud. Cost a bundle but they're still on that freq.
Every once in a blue moon when I've had absolutely nothing better to
do with my life I've gotten on 27Mhz and looked for intelligent life.
On the rare occasions when I've actually found some it lasts maybe
five minutes at most before the bozos blow it off the freq.
YMMV . . !
