All the garbage about how you should even be allowed to operate a CB,

unless
you are able to build your own equipment. Real Hams will never be able

to
build a rig that even comes close to what's available off the shelf

these
days. Most people can't even be bothered, have no interest or don't

have the
time to build rigs anymore. Boatanchors should be used for exactly

that,
anchoring boats!

Time to stop whinging, and face the facts...Real Technology has

overtaken
you all!

Buy a wheel mouse.

Even with a wheel mouse, you don't need to read the garbage.

However, a wheel mouse would seem to be the answer for those
who make the silly fuss - the arrogant bottom-posters - would it not?

The vast majority of Real Hams, stick to the protocol of bottom posting.
There are those, of course, who are incapable...such as yourself!

If you require some assistance on how to post correctly, do let me know.

Yeah. I didn't post this as a joke, either. This guy really used to do it.
And, one of the reasons I can't stand HF operation (other than the biggest
reason being the hiss) is that when we Tech+'s used to get on and do all the
"is this freq in use", etc....all the good operating practices we'd been
told were going to be *absolutes* on ham radio--nearly every time there'd be
some General or higher licensee who'd get on over us and start calling
CQ...or would go just off our freq and begin.

Yep, there were good ones...just as there are good Novices, Techs, and
Tech+'s. But, the bad ones ruin it for everyone.

Kim W5TIT


Well, I don't want to bash 10m as a band but it does seem to attract
some abberant behaviour, and a bit more worldwide than the same that
occurs on 75m and a few selected spots on 20.
Much of the bad behaviour is by CBers faking callsigns - or recent
CB'ers that have become Extras whilst still trying to kick the habit of
being obnoxious.
A shame really, but you are correct in your observations that the bad
ones ruin it for everyone, and if not ruined, it gives everyone else
something to whine about resulting in the appearance that everything is
ruined.
The streets are full of people who **** themselves and fart liberally.
They don't magically disappear when you tune the amateur bands. Thats
what all those tuning knobs are for.

I'm sure you have some sort of data to back that claim, or no?
