I don't mean to throw all ham operators under the bus, by no means. Some of them are the nicest people you will ever meet in person or on 11 meters. |

NOT TWO METERS THO! The thing about it is they still use 11 meters as much as they use any of those bands. You do too, right? |

He told me that the biggest offenders in radio are extra class hams. I think this is a great thing for ham radio. You can now get some new blood into this hobby. Vinnie S. |

You're probably right, it should make it easier for the no codes to gain more HF privilege but that doesn't blow my hair back either. I may end up there after I pass 50, or not. I'm happy with my little shot down CB so far. btw..i remember who you bought your radio from man.  |
