sorry about the double posting. I don't know how that happened.
Regarding my post, I just remembered, isn't there a federal law that is
supposed to exempt any ham radio operators from any local or state laws
that forbid the use of ham radios while mobile?

And yet, the ham radio operator is still counted as "guilty" by the
judge for using his ham radio while mobile.

Or was this a federal judge who ruled that it was against the law for
the ham radio operator to use his mobile ham radio while he is mobile?

which, in effect, also makes using mobile cb radios against the law
while mobile.

going by the reasoning the judge gave about the ham radios.

I guess we all have to start looking for base cb radios now, unless you
already have one.

But what's the use if you're trying to stay in contact with someone who
is mobile while you're at home or vice versa?
