Radio.. Just like CB.. is JUST A HOBBY...

Are you referring to me dear boy? Now perhaps you could explain your
remarkable assumption. Perhaps its the bit where i dont pamper to the
"mighty Amateur holier than tho attitude" .. who knows, ill wait for your
reply..

Yet another reason I will never obtain a ham ticket. You seem to think that
your little piece of paper raises your IQ.

Good news for ham radio!

You seem to think that
your little piece of paper raises your IQ.

Yet with you cber IQ you couldn't pass the test even though the answers
to the questions are available.

From: (Polymath)
Because although CBers are in a different

intellectual class to Radio Hams,

Some of those cb'ers ARE what you call "Radio Hams."

it is neither my wish to insult them nor to enter

into a discourse with them.

You already did by insisting a different intellectual class exists
between the two, although you refrained from
expressing your prejudice of preference.
I hunt frequently with a teacher at the University of South Florida and
he has a cb in his SUV. Another guy in our hunt club is a "Radio Ham"
and never finished high school. On the flip ide, we have a lawyer who is
also a local coach who is a licensed Radio Ham and many commercial
fishermen use cb. At times the commercial fishermen are bringing in more
green than the university professor AND the lawyer put together. Does
that in essence make the fishermen of a higher intellect because he can
make a better income? No, it certainly doesn't, unless you are of the
ilk that measures a man by his monetary worth.


CBers have the right to besport their habits in

the appropriate place as do all the lower

classes, which in this context is rrcb (and

urrcb).


Sorry that a cb'er, possibly an advanced or extra Radio Ham, rained on
your parade at some point. Get over it and lose the chip on your
shoulder so you can make statements that don't illustrate such
ignorance.

NO...
It IS your intention to insult them, just behind their backs so you run less risk
of them replying. Your post was not really intended as an "FAQ", it was purely
a relatively "safe" release for your personal anger.

Wuss.

If you must start seeing this as a class system, look up "Amateur" in a dictionary.
Please consider the meaning of the word before suggesting that an "Amateur" is
above the professionals who design and build equipment to the standards set by
Governments, standards far above that required by an *amateur* producing
equipment for his own personal use.


A CB Radio hobbyist, on the other hand, sees no difference between
a Ham Radio licence and a CB Radio licence. To him, they are
sisters-under-the-skin. Wrongly, the CB Radio Hobbyist then
tries to classify himself as the equal of the Radio
Ham when, in fact, he is nothing of the kind. A sure sign of
a CB Radio hobbyist is if he holds, or has ever held, a licence
issued under the gangrenous degeneration that is the
M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme.

-----ooooo-----

One group of people who claim to be of the standard of
Radio Hams but who are in reality nothing more than an
apology for the failure of a CBer are those class B
licensees who falsely proclaimed that they were against
the use of a Morse Test to control access to the HF
bands, until, that is, a test was introduced at their
intellectual level, the intellectual level of 6-year-olds.

6 year-olds simply lack the mathematical tool kit to
enable them to handle even the simplest algebraic manipulation
for Ohm's Law and thus, the disgraceful Class Ber's in
the aforementioned category are not Radio Hams by any stretch
of the imagination!


Comparing, as you call them, "disgraceful Class Ber's" to 6 year old children is clearly
intended to insult people.

Please think before displaying such ignorance and stupidity by blaming CBers for the rules...
they have absolutely NO CONTROL over such matters. CBers neither set the rules nor claim to
represent "members", that woukld be Ofcom and the RSGB.

CBers do NOT see Amateur and CB as "sisters", it is people like the RSGB, the RA and Ofcom and
a certain magazine publisher who see it that way and make decisions to mix, combine and change
rules and formats.
Any sensible CBer would prefer to keep Amateur and CB separate, as they are separate services
for totally different purposes.

If you must get so angry, do yourself a couple of favours...
1. Blame and whine at the correct people, those able to make the changes.
2. Watch your blood pressure, OM.


I agree with keeping the Amateur requirements higher. I agree that it is now too
simple, and has been for some years. I believe that Amateur radio should be for those
with a real interest in radio, and tests should be set to allow those people through - not
to get the licence figures up.
But it's pointless blaming people for taking what is on offer, sitting the test required to
get their licence.

Peter.
