In ham radio , for most licensees ,the prime focus is on operating

Then they are indistinguishable from CBers

As ably illustrated by the following :-

"Hello OM. My name is John Doe.

I live in Dopey Dumbsville Alabama.

My rig is an XYZ123 for which I paid 2345 dollars to the local emporium.

The antenna is a Butternut Squash.

I have neither interest nor knowledge in how
anything works because if it goes wrong the said CB emporium will fix
it for me.

It's been nice metting you, 73 and goodbye"
