Oh Man My Head Hurts From AM

That's exactly how I feel about FM. I never understood the attraction. Oh sure --- Once you've got the squelch set, it's quiet. But I can't receive anybody except the guy in the lane next to me.
And I'm not singling-out 11M here. 2peater simplex 'draws vacuum' also.
I like SSB, but I get a kick out of some of them on AM. It seem like when someone talks on CB radio no matter what state they live in, they automatically have a southern accent. WALDO, JUST GOT DOWN, BYE BYE BYE!!
Don't knock FM until you try it! I have talked plenty of skip on FM.
"We will work stations on the other side of the globe while the 11 meter guys are running 1500w to talk a block and half"
"We are superior(you did get this one right)"
"We strive to run clean stations and don't feel the need to send our radios to people called Snake or Fine Tune"
"We don't need echo or roger beep or bird calls"
"We hate blue lights on anything"
As you just having fun...
Oh and one last one, "we can sit in our living room and have a conversation with someone on the other side of the country with no signal fading or interference"
All said in jest..73!

that's good stuff!
When i first got into CB at around age 12, i thought the roger beep was a ham thing that CBers glommed on to.
I thought that up until i got my license at age 14 and tried to use one on 10 meters...

You should try running a roger beep on the other bands. I may do this occasionally just to find out who takes life too seriously.
Worked at a NASA site years back and one of the other guys there was into CB. He heard my radio's roger beep and thought it was an imitation of NASA's quindar tone.
Whatever you do and whatever band you do it on, please don't be the guy who talks about his prostate exam/problems.They are both stuffy..
Ok
So lets kill the CB vers Ham vers SSB vers AM vers blah blah blah
It is all radio guys and its just falling off a cliff, as these things usually do.
Some people like different things in radio and the freedom to run your stuff your way, etc so respect the next guy when he wants to do something different.
This is one thing that staff did not want from the get go is to have a negative attitude towards one radio service over another.
Like another popular forum I will not mention.
Just play radio

As a CB'er I do like to listen to the guys on 40 and 80 meters. It is kinda nice just to sit back and listen. It reminds me of the old guys sitting around the table at the cafe or store drinking coffee and telling tales. Some of the talk is very interesting.
