Most think they know, “What is CB Radio?”, and
they don’t.
I could give a hooey about others technical proficiency when I’ve said that. However admirable in this instance (Radio), it has a
zero compass-bearing as to what’s important. Spin-the-dial stupidity (as ignorance can’t be claimed).
Remember, these are “men” who allow TV in their homes. That cancels any statement about what’s societally-worthy and what isn’t.
Boobus Americanus (per Mencken) isn’t prohibited from nose-to-grindstone focus & ability . . just the larger picture into which we all have to fit. The “opinion” he’s issued,
not the wisdom God made him capable.
Thus:
1). Be thought a fool, or open ones mouth and settle any doubts
Check
2). Believe any & all lies (CV-19) AND STILL FAIL to recognize the need for “skills” (Radio; here) which fosters trade & neighborliness among citizens,
not to mention commercial applications. Where has Mr Pumpkin Head made CB more practical for all around him? He hasn’t (as he’s not any sort of citizen).
Check
Citizen Band Radio. (
Hmmm, define those words. They aren’t colors).
Let’s finish this off quick: the cretins and the morally-unfit whom they follow (ARRL) can’t be bothered to PROMOTE the use of a tool existing maybe in the millions of units across the USA. Arrogance or ignorance matter not.
Instead they cancel their own events versus work-out HOW to use Radio to buy, sell, trade among citizens.
4). Three million big trucks out on the road. As of a few years ago, 750,000 drivers EVERY NIGHT are 150-miles or more from home.
The single largest job classification existing.
Good luck making a Class 8 tractor radio install perform to spec.
The number of pickup trucks and vans AT WORK exceeds even this.
(Your wife who commutes 30-miles each way doesn’t count, huh?).

Failures moral, mental & spiritual. Not partial failures, but
wholesale.
I read around on other forums. Not just Radio.
No one has a lock on the King Stoopid Award.
Your church isn’t any better. Bible-reading banned,
but Bible-burning encouraged. The government CANNOT legislate in re churches.
Doors locked at Easter? Church was then given to government. As that’s the hospital where all souls were murdered.
Or understand it’s also no longer property of a distant governing body, but of the congregants who take & reform it. Cowards are to be barred.
Things aren’t getting better. And they won’t.
Rules are by agreement, not fiat. CB is needed, more than at any time in its existence.
Rules are where cowards take refuge. Hear, and Be Heard.
What Radio type do your neighbors possess, and how have you helped them? Their families and yours. (It matters little what you operate, it’s matters EVERYTHING what you and your neighbors share.
That you can do more is THEIR asset, not yours).
Are you a Doctor of Radio, or not?
