What's ham radio supposed to be (from the government viewpoint) if not a training ground? For people who know how to operate. Not for CBers on ham bands. People are afraid of losing things if we have too few hams? Where will the FCC's justification go (the "ham radio provides us with a pool of experienced operators" thing) if ham radio is just CB on different frequencies? |
