It's all your fault. You kept complaining and they took care of the problem!

They didn't ban CB radio's, they just banned their use while mobile...

At some point, you have to put those childish things away and grow up.

If you do a little research, you will find that although the ban includes CB radio, it does not include Amateur Radio - since Amateur Radio is a licensed radio service...

If you are smart enough to pass a 35 question / multiple guess test, you might be able to get an amateur radio license, and then you wouldn't have to worry about stupid stuff like that anymore...

Duh, he's in Canada.

Yes - I am familiar with the link.

If you read it again, no where in the link does it ever say anything about Amateur radio.
The reason why it does not say anything about amateur radio is because Amateur Radio is a licensed radio service - which serves a legitimate purpose - emergency communications.

The police, firemen, ambulance all are emergency communications - hence if they impose sanctions on one - they would have to enforce it on all.
When a tornado strikes your town and blows your house and every other house for 5 miles away - no one is going to care if you are talking on your amateur radio or not.

But when the cell towers and the phone lines are down and the public service radio refuses to operate - Amateur Radio still works!

Why? - because we do not rely on the goverment to build and supply our repeaters and our system is so large, even if one portion of the system fails, we can just switch to another repeater / or use simplex and talk anywhere - line of sight, any time.

The reason why the government said also UHF / VHF radios is because there is frequencies allocated in the bandplan where it is allowed to operate on frequencies other then 27 mhz for buisness purposes.

Look at the trucks on Ice Road Truckers, they have a CB for their general communications and they have another radio with another channel number for their buisness communications.. The same is true on Deadliest Catch.
Look at all the different transcievers in the pilot house of the boats they fish with... HF / VHF / UHF / Sat phone - all throughout the ship.
You can even use FREE internet on the HF band if you are a amateur radio operator and the band conditions are right.

Amateur radio isn't just a bunch of X CB'rs that are sitting around / chewing the rag all day on a net.

In parts of new zealand we have a lot of braindead operators on uhf cb
talking dirty stuff.The local repeater needs to be shut down OR these
lowlife need to be visited one night.
I would love to own a repater with unual tones on it.That would
restrict a lot of people.Unfortuatly they are fairly expensive here to
set up and licence.There are some in China that can be had for
underNZ$1000.
I heard of a moron who was being an idiot in 2mtrs.He was visited and
was never heard of again.The police weren't even interested when he
made a complaint
