And like other fools you attempt to keep the myth alive.

Nope. That's not a "myth" but ACTUAL FACT. Look at Broose
and his constant "CBplusser" snarlings. "Lid" like operation
is commonly referred to as "CB" activity. All kinds of
nastygrams are sent when olde-tyme hammes have a need to
cuss out someone. :-)

And where in that do you get they are somehow upset about losing 11
meters?

From just about every olde-tymer in the West San Fernando
Valley electronics industry of 1958 through 1960, those
working everywhere from Ramo-Wooldridge Corporation in
Canoga Park, CA, to Gilfillan in Van Nuys, CA. Several
hundred of them. Lockheed ARC was in east San Fernando
Valley and I didn't get to east Valley much then.

Tsk. I didn't keep count. I should have known that good
old anony-mousie buzziebaby would be upset 47 years later
and demand respect to his imagination on what was. :-)

It is a FACT that the cbers turned 11 meters into the sewer pit
of radio.

Awww...poor baby. Upset are you? Now WHAT have YOU DONE
to "clean up" that "sewer pit?" Bitched and moaned to yer
anony-mousie ham buddies?

In 47 years a LOT can happen. 47 years is enough time to
graduate from school, get married, have kids, have a career
in something, have grandkids, and retire. Class A and B
CB were created BEFORE 1958 but were eventually deallocated
entirely. Class C CB became the Radio Control Radio Service
and got added channels around 72 MHz, has much activity
among model enthusiasts (more members of AMA than ARRL!).
Class D CB became just Citizens Band Radio Service and
dropped the need for licensing. CB never had ANY test of
any kind to get a license or "federal athorization" to
transmit...nothing but a Restricted 3rd Class Radiotelephone
FORM to send in when that was required.


And again, how do you see in that anyone complaining about losing 11
meters? No, most hams don't want the ham bands to become what the cbers
have made of 11 meters. No complaing about losing it, just don't want
the ham bands to become like it.

Oh? Did you poll "most hams?" Of course you did, you will say
so! [that makes it "fact?"]

You haven't been paying attention to CB. The big increase in
CB use didn't come until about in the mid-1960s and the
availability of economical, imported CB transceivers. The
trucking industry had already picked up on it.

So, there's about a seven-year period where there was NO
"sewer pit" of 11 meters. Seven years is a long time, too.
In seven years a couple can conceive a child, raise them
to enter the first grade.

Did all you olde-tyme hammes DO anything to keep this
"sewer" from overflowing? No? Tsk, not very civic radio
minded, I'd say.


The hams hardly used 11 meters. In 1958 I was listening to hams almost
on a daily basis.

Yeah, suuuure you were. As a SWL, I presume? :-)

Sure there were a few at the time who may have
complained a bit, but you attempt to make it sound as if half the ham
community is still upset.

Awwww...buzziebaby, meet Broose (the extra on a bet).

Tsk. I'm still trying to find this mythical "ham community"
so that I can send in my "dedication and committment" papers
and sworn statements.

Riiiight and all the ham periodicals didn't say dink about
this growing menace of CB, did they? :-)


Here, you are the ever present POS lennieboy.

I exist. My present mail address is the same one that was
on all my Ham Radio magazine bylines. None of those
were any "POS" sweetums...they were reviewed by other hams
on the staff before publishing.

What are YOU? Another anony-mousie with a ridiculous
handle, some ancient B&W TV "hero" character. Wow, the
number of bona fides you got is ZERO. ZIP. NADA. NYET.

I'll bet you are just an SWL or a CBPlusser who don't
know da code! Bye... :-)
