Wealthy man, setting the ten hams up in existence with webcams on
their rigs and letting them claim they invented the internet?

(Hey, who really did invent the internet, Al Gore or hams--frankly I
believe Al Gore more!)

Krist, equipment manufacturers are already abandoning hams, your next
transceiver will be made by "Cobra", they can supply you with ham
rigs--they are already manufacturing CB rigs!

Just consider it "radio welfare" for hams. Your "entitlement." grin

I'm getting a vision here--imagine if Cobra manufactured a great ham rig;
all except for the fact that it was NOT easily modifiable...locked up
tight...

Now what fool would build a radio like that? Manufacturers are out to
make a buck, else they eventually disappear... if they spend their
money attempting to champion "control freak hams" they can't be
competitive in the market!

Besides, what ham worth his 2+KW rf signal doesn't have a full
coverage communications transceiver with all the xmit blocked freqs
removed and the radio "opened up?" Yet is quick to point a finger
over at a CB'er...

And, unless you pot the whole damn thing in epoxy, what would ever
make it "locked up tight?"

So percentage of those hams with their rigs 'opened up' transmit on
frequencies outside the ham bands? What percentage of those cbers' with
their rigs 'opened up' transmit on frequencies outside the cb band?
