CB and Amateur Radio are handled by the same FCC subdivision. A staffer
told me that the signals from each looked the same to him on the
spectrum analyzer.

Reliable performance comes from serious competition or from hire and
fire power over the participants.

They are not supposed to be the same amplitude. :-)

Well, the amplitudes aren't equal!!!

Darn heathen CB'ers are not civilized enough to cut the 400+ watts back to
10 watts when that would suffice for the QSO--and that darn MIC GAIN!!!,
yanno, someone has got to talk to them about the virtues of speech
compression, but it does assist in finding them over a few Mhz (well, that
might be exaggerating!!!!! grin)

Warmest regards,
John

Oranges to Apples
Two different services for entirely different folks.
Both have their merits and disadvantages.

CL -- I doubt, therefore I might be !

Well, I certainly can agree with your point, it is well taken here and a
logical view...
However, you failed to mention those like me; with my "split-personality"
BOTH appeal to me! grin

Warmest regards,
