A CB Radio hobbyist, on the other hand, sees no difference between a Ham

I'm not a cb'er, never was and never will be and ham radio still looks
like cb to me! Why is that?

Wrongly, the CB Radio Hobbyist then tries to
classify himself as the equal of the Radio Ham when, in fact, he is
nothing of the kind. A sure sign of a CB Radio hobbyist is if he holds, or
has ever held, a licence issued under the gangrenous degeneration that is
the M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme.

There are many ex/current cb'ers who are G/M0 class and proud of it.

-----ooooo-----

One group of people who claim to be of the standard of Radio Hams but who
are in reality nothing more than an apology for the failure of a CBer are
those class B licensees who falsely proclaimed that they were against the
use of a Morse Test to control access to the HF bands, until, that is, a
test was introduced at their intellectual level, the intellectual level of
6-year-olds.

Rubbish. Some of us have passed electronics course/exams at BSC honours
level and yet we are not interested in the slightest with morse.

6 year-olds simply lack the mathematical tool kit to enable them to handle
even the simplest algebraic manipulation for Ohm's Law and thus,

And how good are you with tensors old chap.

the
disgraceful Class Ber's in the aforementioned category are not Radio Hams
by any stretch of the imagination!

You mistakenly ascribe too much to the ability to *jerk* a morse key old
boy.







Remember - A sure sign of a CB Radio hobbyist is if he holds, or has ever
held, a licence issued under the gangrenous degeneration that is the M3/CB
Fools' Licence scheme!
