Which brings us to the fact that many good hammies cb on regular basis.




I grew up on the CB band in the 1970s. I may have my ham license, but
27 MHz still feels like home.
Unfortunately the quality of the people on the CB band has degraded
considerably on the CB band since the 1970s. In the 1970s I almost
never heard profanity on the CB band, but now it is a difficult to
make it around the 40 channels even once without hearing the F word or
one CB'er calling someone else a faggot.

You are so right, Mr. Backwards. Those of us who grew up in that early
era are fortunate to have known what radio was supposed to be like, no
matter what band.

College campuses used to be different to, the "F" word now may be more
frequently heard there on campus more than on the radio...

These past replies are so right! Despite the downhill trend, and the
world for that matter, I have met a few good people over the years who
turned out to be great friends! Worth it, considering having not met
them.

The "CB is a reflection of society" angle, eh? There's some good reading
in the archives on this : )

No need to consult the past, it exists now, and will be the future... we all
reflect the present state of society, and so does our methods of
communications...

.... this is why amateur radio is now being drug into the 2nd millennium, we
have just gotten around to it...
