First, a big disclaimer - This thread is not intended to start a ham vs. cb war...if it turns into that, the thread will get canned.

So here goes...

I was thinking about my "radio journey" tonight, how many different activities I've enjoyed on all types of radio and how many are still out there for me to try and I was struck with a thought:

For all the CB only guys, what is keeping you from getting your ham license? Is it a "religious" thing? Is it a cost thing? Is it the test? Is it the imposition of rules? Is it your Significant Other? Is it initial impressions of grumpy internet hams? Is it ______ ?

As part of the discussion, what would motivate you to become a ham?

I'm really curious and would like this to be an honest, hate-free discussion. There is no wrong or right, just a discussion.
