I've been a CB'er for 20 years there Tony and I personally don't think Ham's are pricks to think that they are ,but there are a-holes in every bunch , bottom line for me is this ,I have over the years talked on freebands (as my Ham counter parts do as well ?) NOT ! on Ham bands , there is truly a attitude there concerning many of the ticket holders out there , I suppose they have the right but unless IM breaking polocey ? I personally do not need to hear that polocey jammed down my cb radios receive ......especially on the 11 meter band !! as I said before Tony .....the attitude is there and I've learned to live with it ,but when I here "them" advertising on cb about how much more satisfiying it could be for many more and then at same time putting down the cb experiance , It just doesn't impress me much . Oh ....and you know why there there in the first place ? ....they really like CB (-: it's the drama of it all. As I said,there are truly the Good the Bad and the Ugly on both sides of the railroad tracks and weather or not "they" have the right or not ? When it comes to the Freebands in my area ...there's more ticket holders there then anywhere else ? Go Figure ? but in my book ...it sure don't make them any better then I . Ticket or no ticket ...they to could lose there's for the same breaking of the rules as anybody else would.Im just a low life cb radio outlaw I suppose concerning many of the other well to do radio operators ? I don't talk off repeaters ...for a guy like me ,I just don't see the challenge ,especially talking off a antenna not much bigger then my peto ,figurativley speaking of course. I've known many a cb'er in my time get there tickets and buy those very nice radios to go with it ,but guess what ? after all of that , and it wasn't as if they ever really left , they were still on cb 99.9%of the time ,I guess it just take a special breed ? Hmmmm What ever the case may be ? It's just nice when everybody can even somewhat get along. (-: Peace Switch Kit to each his or her own.
