Well, despite his harsh way of expressing a valid point this has certainly brought about some good discussion. Most are aware of where this arguement comes from, and I would say if these CB vendors are simply selling unmodded (legal) equipment, and no amps then I don't see a problem at a Hamfest, because the point of being a ham is playing by the rules. CB should be a stepping stone towards a Ham License not a stumbling block. Some one who enjoys CB should want to move up to Ham radio so they can legally and politely enjoy long distant communications. CB is looked down upon because of it's lack of respect for others operating in and around these frequencies, and this is what needs to be address.
