As best I recall CW is illegal on CB.

Is anything 'really' illegal on CB anymore?

Naturally, if the average CBer knew that,
there would be a rush to learn it. :-)

I hear CW on CB occasionally and it's usually answered by some brutish
amplifier running channel cop claiming to state the 'law'.

I've heard some fairly loud cw on 11 meters, that stuff sure punches
through the noise. There's plenty room for both cw and phone so the
more the merrier to me.

11 meters is the last frontier. The sheriff never comes to these here
parts, so fire up yer amps and transmit any mode ya want.

That may be extreme in an urban area tho, eh doc? g

Designate ch's 30 and 31 to high or low powered CW, in exchange for the
am'ers staying off 36-40. Deal. (it's only a gentleman's agreement anyway,
self policing of course)

And they can't use AM on the uppers, we won't use ssb on the lowers.
I think we've been doing a good job of policing ourselves. The FCC surely
hasn't been doing it.

Alot of people are telling me that CB is just for inbred hicks and that
I should replace the CB in my truck with a ham radio. What do you
think?


The 2 meter CB is useless on long trips when you'd like to know where
the cops are but it will give you better directions! So it's a toss
up...

Right, and how do you send CW while driving your pick-up truck with the
twin talkers -and- the on the air lights mounted on the roll bar? It's bad
enuff running around with the 102" whip banging off everything low, let
alone trying to tap out some directions to your ham buddy on the highway
via CW. :)

CW rules in disasters tho..


I went to a hamfest many many moons ago and met this guy who could
send 60 wmp while driving with a strap on army key on his knee!

By all means replace it and forever leave CB behind. While you're
at it don't forget to remove rec.radio.cb from your newsreader.

Seems to me this original question appeared here about 4 months ago or so!
Is it my news reader replaying OR is someone else "reposting"?

It's the same story over and over. Usually an outcasted ham posts
to rec.radio.cb in this derogitory manner. It's a amateurish attempt
to self justify their superiorirty. They simple put down others in
order to bring themself up.

The only problem is this. If they were truly superior they would never
feel the need to do this. When they resort to putting CB down it does
just the opposite of what they think. It exposes an inferior feeling
and their self conscienceness to it.

They don't make a counter that goes high enough to number all the
Freaks on CB.
