Let me possibly answer your question with a question....How long
has
ham
radio allowed dumb assed CBers in with basically no knowledge or
desire
to
learn anything about ham radio in the service?

There is your answer.

Good call, Dan. Interestingly, they are anonymous on the air, as
well
as
off the air, in newsgroups. I guess it has something to do with low
self-esteem, or maybe just as you said: dumbass CBers. But isn't
that
redundant?

Hello, Dave and Dan

Either of you guys remember W2OY? About the only difference between him
and
some today is that he wasn't anonymous. But he *loved* to jam folks.
There
have been others of more recent vintage as well that also were not
anonymous.

Yes I remember John. He was indeed a character. And you are right....he
did indeed ''jam'' folks. But in all fairness he owned 3810, at least
he
thought he did HI HI.

Hello, Dan

Well, the 'gentleman' I am thinking of was Mike, W2OY, and he was active out
of the Buffalo, NY, area back in the 60s (when I first got on the air) and
probably some decades before as well. He was a class "A" licensee.
