Not to hijack this thread, First let me say as an over the road trucker I know all to well what you are talking about, and I agree with you completely.

That said if a person comes to you and asks about ham radio just because that person has a back ground in cb doesn't make them a screw up.

When I I get my ticket will I make mistakes on the radio, I can pretty much guarantee that I will. I can only hope that if that happens that I will be corrected and given the opportunity to learn from that and not get warning letters and fines from the fcc for making a mistake. UUnfortunately I have heard from more than a few that if they catch you they with bust that person instantly and report that person to the fcc for reprimand.

Can't exactly say that gives a person that warm and fuzzy feeling.

I'm not saying you or even anyone one this site has said this to me because they have not. I have asked questions inbthe ham section and so far everyone has been more than helpful.

Didn't mean for it to come across as I was grouping all hams in the same boat. I guess that was poor wording on my part and I'll take full ownership of that.
