I am sure they could drop some of the ham radio adds and put in some ten
codes and echo mikes to help pay the bills for the loss of so many members.

Im sure they will. Dan I have a great Idea, since the FCC and the" CBRRL" are
HELL bent on destroying Ham Radio, I have a great way to introduce the
CBplussers to HF.
When you hear the CBplussers calling CQ, just answer them on CW, perfectly
Legal, and it will probably **** them OFF. Thats what Im going to do.

You undoubtedly listen to FM radio. Are you a DJ? Do you have your own talk
show? No? Why not, they wouldn't hire you?

Burt and Wayne Green are right on this one I am afraid.
Even new 2 Meter radios are going for under $200.00
at HRO and AES. Nobody's buying ham gear except
for on e-Bay where you chances of getting "E-screwed"
on that "perfect condition used radio" are better than 7 to 1.



Actually, I got 2 Icom handhelds for that price from HRO. They sure
beat FRS for keeping contact withs the kids. Getting a tech liscense
for the kids isn't too hard either. You get a whole family of hams
that don't need to pick of a cell phone around town. They don't need
FRS with it's crowded bands and you get much greater range.

What's wrong with that?

So if no one is buying new gear, how does HRO, AES, etc
stay in business.

Nothing wrong with that either.
