I've never met a kilocycle kop or anything like one. I know a lot of very

very non technical hams.

If you listen to both the CB and Amateur Bands, you mostly hear a lot of
fooling around. Makes things much more interesting...

I hear just as many radio and ailment checks from both groups.

I hear folks trying out many different frequencies and modes on ham.
I still need to get an all-mode 6 meter radio... Anyone got an RCI5054?

Yuck! Why not just get a used Icom 706? They can be had for $400 or
less, and they are much better designed and built than an RCI (glorified
CB).

I'm getting a feel for things. Big hamfest this weekend.
My HT better come back from repair real soon.

take offense to the "holer than thou" attitude displayed by many hams
toward Cbers.




I have not found that to be the case...




Neither have I. What you mis-attributed to myself was paraphrased. Dave
Hall N3CVJ wrote it, not I. That is why his signature, that you somehow
managed to snip and eliminate, was at the bottom. See, he signed it....

How you missed it or chose to ignore it and misattribute Dave Hall's
words to myself is anyones guess, but not really important.

Many serious CB'ers run Amateur Gear.




Agreed.

I think hammies that make posts like this are too concerned with cb and
disenfranchised with hammie radio. They spend all their time here in a
cb room but can claim communication with no other group member. Just as
it has been shown certain factions are not at all interested in the
rules, despite their hypocrisy toward cbers, some are interested in
advocating nothing but an agenda of hate and discontent..







but is much less filling on the serious

discussion side. Most Hams don't sit and talk

Agreed. As you so astutely pointed out, "most" hammies do not share the
minority point-of-view illustrated by the author.

I would surmise he meant those who try to police others. In other words,
he was referring what he has become. If I am incorrect, you can ask
Davie to what he referred when he used such a term.

No doubt. And it's much easier to communicate in a friendly manner,
despite the fact that the person you are communicating with may share
opposing views.

Why restrict the domain... remove hammies and ham radio to plug in what
ever radio service or hobby you can think of. Goofy people abound in
every hobby.

He loves me, what can I say? I guess all of the psychological evaluation
hit home, just a little too close for him. I guess he wants more. But
