Screw all the a$$hole answers. Here is the real lowdown:
You will find jerks on Part 95 and Part 97 bands.
You will find fine folks on Part 95 and Part 97 bands.

Three years ago I got my ticket. I found more bands to work plus
my CB. When I can't find someone on 2 meters, I can check out 440.
If that proves to be dead, I can always find someone on channel 19!

Get a scanner and tune from 144 to 148 and from 438 to 450. You may
hear a lot of the same voices on there that you hear on your CB!

Finally, repeaters are great for a consistent long range connection,
however most 2 meter action occurs on simplex, just like CB. Many
times, it sounds like CB. I find most of the extra cl ass hams are
the ones with the attitudes. The rest are OK.

Don't give up your CB. Just add more radios!

I've been thinking about 2 meters, but I just don't see me leaving 11
meters. I can go freebanding on SSB and still listen to the locals chew the
fat or fight when they're drunk. Channel 19 offers up some crude
entertainment from time to time. I also use the scanner and get the scoop on
what kind of trouble the locals are getting into.

I think any inbred hick with a CB radio in his truck is too stupid to ever pass
an amateur radio license examination. In fact, I'd even question how he obtained
a driver's license -- if he has one.
