Around here it seems like every redneck with a pick-up truck has a 2 meter rig and antenna on it. Most of them use them for hunting radios. I have heard a snow plow business being run on 2 meters also.
These guys are totally illegal but don't care and get away with it all day long. Ham radios are cheaper and more abundant than commercial radios. I've turned in whatever information I can to the FCC. It's up to them to follow up.
I even ran into some guys with marine VHF antennas on their trucks. "What's that fancy antenna for?" I asked. "We use those marine radios for hunting." they told me "they work a lot better than CB." The FCC got their tag numbers. I don't know if it helped.
