Perhaps it is the preponderance of CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams
that has caused the FCC to perceive that Radio Hams as a group
are just as dumbassed as other consumerist users - CBers, Broadcasters,
Telecoms Providers, and that Radio Hams should pay a going rate
for the spectrum that they use?

It's never too late to change, and to restore _REAL_ Ham Radio.

Perhaps it is simply that you cannot face up to the truth of what is Ham
Radio, a technical pursuit, and what is CB Radio, a consumerist hobby
for those who buy ready-made equipment and just press buttons?

There are many, many CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio_Hams today
whose numbers far outweigh those of _REAL_ Radio Hams. It is
a pity that you have been seduced by the former, for your description
of your Dad made him seem like the latter.

It is sad that another possible recruit to Ham Radio, you, has fallen by
the wayside of mediocrity so soon, especially considering your
claims about your technical background.

Sic transit gloria Mundi.

You're obviously a troll, and not a very good one at that.
