Crap Scott, you're so quite on here as of late, forgot all about
you...............


Don't crap on me!

I turned on my CB to catch some of the Christmas CBers, but it was raining and
there were none. I did make a few random FRS contacts. I was trying to make it
so they could actually make a contact on their first try so they stick with it
and not box it back up. Once they've been on a radio for a month or so, I could
point them to more frequencies on HAM. I still find a radio operator to be a
radio operator whether licensed by rule or by test. To sit behind a mike and
talk to strangers takes a certain kind of person and not all stay with it.
Once they get a taste of radio, they may want to learn and do more. CB is a
good place to find more radio operators. People are people and the Part they
use doesn't matter and you don't have to give up one for the other.

It's amazing how many hams I run into on CB and how many hams used CB before becoming hams.

BTW, I'll have 28.3 to 28.5 no matter what in about two months. I'm ready. My 2950 still works.


Merry Christmas


Ho Ho Ho, she was...
