This "will" upset genuine CB radio operators, and those who did advance to Amateur from CB, as many full licence Hams dont seem able to distinguish between the two, or dont want to distinguish... thats the problem. Also the point still stands that a few, if not lot of problems on Amateur bands could be down to kids going on their parents equipment while they are out. There are lots of possibilitys but the CB'er gets it in the neck all the time. Regards, Graham |

Maybe not to the point of disconnecting his/her equipment but at least bringing up their kids to be respectful of things. I would personally put a lock on the "shack" door so I could secure the room but some people have them in their living room so sometimes I guess its asking for trouble. My CB is in my office and also one in my repair "shack" and when I go out I make sure both are locked. If I can do it for CB why cant they do it with their Amateur kit... which is far more valuable in any case. Mind you, some adults cant even be arsed to secure their guns but thats a different story....... Regards, Graham |

Not absolutely correct. Correct in some instances but i know lots of people on 11 meter who go on SSB (illegaly of course) who treat it sensibly and dont mess about. Many 11 meter users, especially the SSB users, have reasonably good control on the airwaves even to the point of writing a log and QSL'ing. These are CB'ers im talking about by the way, not Amateurs although I know a couple of Amateurs who used to join in occasionally (using their pirate call signs of course) later on... i remembered those on 11m who are the height of decency and kindness and strive for excellence on 11m rather than messing around. |

IIRC, Little Britain... "You smell nice, what is it?" "Murray Mints." Maybe it was on the radio series, I have the CD set. I remember, with my alder relatives, Nutalls Mintos and mint imperials... but it always seems to be mints. Avoid mints at all costs, it's a sign that you are getting old. Did you see the first in the new series of Little Britain? All day, the top news was that the new series was starting. The following day, top news was the ratings... 9 million viewers. At this rate, it may overtake the soaps. Oh my, the roly-polies in that naked fight scene. I had to look away to avoid throwing up at the sight of it. Regards, Peter. |

Don't you also enjoy talking to distance stations with your voice too? I agree that the part of the spectrum allocated to Morse should be left for Morse and those who wish to use Morse should have a slightly different level of licence/callsign to acknowledge this but it seems its always but "always" levelled at us with any discussion about seemingly low licensed intermediates/M3's/general class that unless your an extra class/advanced you are some sort of trailer park scum. Not for one minute am I saying you say this but its the general impression most get from some "alleged" full licence holders in these newsgroups.
