You can't give up CB completely. You should still have your CB to
listen on channel 19, swear, etc. You are going to have fun on ham (I'm
not one, nor have I used my CB in a while either), but you get to play
with satellites (including bouncing signals off the moon), repeaters,
phone patch, TV, microwaves, computer data and more. This is done on a
tech class license. If you go higher you get morse code, and
shortwaves. Ooh I forgot to mention you get to use FM, VHF/UHF/SHF/EHF,
and 1000 watts.
wellyou can give CB just no reason to do so.

and the coderequirement is dead soonand itis 1500 watts btw

Me three!

CB comes in handy when you are traveling, but to local very good
communications without all that bull **** of LOUD audio, Echo boxes,
Swingmodulation , and roger beeps, it hard to beat good sounding FM Two
meter ham radioes. If you know someone with them just listen in on them.
Its hard to understand half of the cbers with all that screwed up audio. The
more screwed up it is the better they like it.

That's the only thing I've ever even slighty agreed with you.
I didn't remove my CB, I just added more radios!
