If you had to study to get a ham licence, would you stay on CB?

I have a better idea.

Lets require all Ham radio operators take an I.Q. test. Only upon
passing the test would an operator be allowed Amateur privileges.
A score of 130 would be required. This would eliminate 98% of
hams and also eliminate overcrowding of the band.

The 98% of Amateurs who flunk would automatically be termed CBers.
This shouldn't be a problem because 98% of Amateurs are nothing but
self glorified CBers anyway. They just would never admit it.

Problem solved.

Alot of people don't want to be knowledgable about radio. You can hear'em on 11 meters.

Alot may be the incorrect spelling of allot. In non-UK countries,
meter may be the correct spelling. (And they call Americans insular.)

Here a Meter . . . There a Metre !

You are indeed correct in the first instance, whereas in the latter, it
would depend upon which side of the pond one resides.

Got any radios for sale/trade?
