If all you CBers with a ham license want to go back and play in the
pig
pen.
Then go ahead.

No thanks, Dan. I avoid the pig pen, but I still do occasionally chit
chat on CB ch. 38 LSB and 40 USB...and no swine present. As a matter
of fact, I worked a guy on ch. 38 LSB earlier this evening who ended
up asking me to QSY to 28.440 MHz. I happily complied. ;-)

Don't even think anyone that is a real ham cares what goes
on there.

Very much false.

Let alone wants to operate there.

See above.

If you don't like that. Tough...thats the fact jack.

Doesn't bother me one iota as it's very far from factual.

I feel the same way about CB, Bert. There are ways to avoid the trash,
and
that is on USB or LSB.

I think the combination of some selective operating practice along with some
good old fashioned fool's luck has been responsible for my good fortune on
the 11-meter CB. I run into an occasional overmodulated overpowered jerk
whose signal splashes across the band, but they've been few and far between.
My answer? Additional IF filtering and more recently, the addition of a SGC
ADSP2 DSP board. The results of which are dramatic. I like to preach
receiver mods to those who simply cannot leave their rig stock. If they
express a want (NOT need.) for more power, I suggest a speech processor.
(Forget the amp!) There are some nice ones on the market from Astatic, CBCI,
as well as the SP-1a.

Anyone who would forsake any communication venue
just doesn't have a clue for the value of that venue...

Actually, Kim, I betcha they do...but's it's easier to "follow" the herd.
