You can tell the hams who have not listened to CB in quite a while. It's
about dead compared to what it was in the 70s. Hardly any truckers using
it either. So the constant reference to CBers really shows ignorance.

Dropping the CW requirement is about 15 years too late. It will help,
but young people have too many other interests now like computers and
the Internet to get interested now and they still have beliefs that this
is an old-fart hobby with morse code. Hard to change that perception,
especially when you have so many old-farts trying to keep people out of
the service.

The FCC is finally dropping the CW requirement. Now the younger
