In my book, the _REAL_ radio amateur is someone who relishes

appliance operator.

If one's interest lies, say, antennas or propagation effects, both very
valid areas of interest to an amateur licensee, then the radio itself
becomes little more than a signal source or detector and is essentially
irrelevant.

You seem to be obsessed with CB.
