They did it a few decades ago when they took 11 meters from the hams
since they didn't use it.

Well, since CB never required a test, I'd have to say that your
question makes no sense to me. If you are referring to MURS, FRS, and
GMRS, they aren't in the ham bands. Are you proposing testing and
incusion of those frquencies into the ham bands?

As near as I can figure out, it's got to be something like that. You
do know that hams can use those frequencies too if they get the
licenses that may be required. Don't worry, they don't require you to
take a test or anything.

I use MURS to keep in touch with my non-ham daughter. My phone at
home stays constantly busy and she isn't interested in taking the
test. I guess that she too is condemned to no-code/non-ham hell. She
seems pretty content with her fate though. She really want's a cell
phone, which is also near a ham frequency, but I got her a horse
intstead.

Only a TRUE CBPlusser, or "TROLL", like WA8ULX
would want to know.

Subject: What freq is good for Freeband on 440
Message-ID:

Myself and another person are going on a road
trip in different cars next
week. We plan on using 440 FM to keep in touch as
we drive along. Since the
other person doesnt have a License what is good
FREQ on 440 to use. Dont worry
we will not use any IDs that would tell who we
were. We will be using GE Deltas
converted to 440 both running about 100 watts and
5 DB Gain antennas. Any Ideas
on what Freqs I should program into the Radios?

You mean you call the present system a Test get real.

Based on some of your posts, I'm suprised that you passed it.

Allright, I'm convinced that you really are a CB radio operator.

Nope, im what your striving to be.

Really? Well now I know why I didn't want to get there.

No the problem is, you were not Man enough to get there. You just wanted to
whine like a little Baby and hope the FCC would reward you.

Bob:

Your daughter can have full amateur privileges on the VHF and higher
bands without taking a code test. All she has to do is pass a fairly
simple written test to get her Technician-class license, and she can
be happily kerchunking local repeaters and keeping in touch with you
to both your heart's content. Moreover, if she doesn't bother to whine
about not having HF phone privileges because she cannot be bothered
to learn Morse code at a dismally slow 5 WPM, nobody will any
problem with her whatsoever.

However, as a person who appreciates things like bicycles, wood
stoves, manual-gearbox automobiles, and the Morse code, I think
that the horse you bought for your daughter was a very smart
investment!

And if she waits a little longer, she will have HF anyway!

That's the good 'ole American Spirit! Just wait until everything is
dumbed-down to your level, and it's yours! Perhaps the FCC
should be called in to consult on Florida's ballot system!

Uh, Larry . . Alun is a Brit. Like Cornwallis was a Brit (so doan
expect much in the way of the American Spirit there) . .

Like Oliver Cromwell was a Brit. Like Bertrand Russel was a Brit. Like
Clement Atlee was a Brit.

Like William Penn was a Brit. Like Winston Churchill was a Brit. Like Margaret
Thatcher is a Brit. Like J.K. Rowling is a Brit.

Like Tony Blair is a Brit.

The ultimate "class-leveling" socialists and
propagators of the dumb-down syndrome . .

Funny, I've never met one of those...
