I don't mean to throw all ham operators under the bus, by no means. Some of them are the nicest people you will ever meet in person or on 11 meters. |

You can talk with me on 75 meters. Vinnie S. Remember that exemption thing with the hams? I have two buddies that are extras' - local here and they'd like to hear me on 20 40 or 80 (160?) NOT TWO METERS THO! The thing about it is they still use 11 meters as much as they use any of those bands. You do too, right? |

He told me that the biggest offenders in radio are extra class hams. I think this is a great thing for ham radio. You can now get some new blood into this hobby. Vinnie S. |

You're probably right, it should make it easier for the no codes to gain more HF privilege but that doesn't blow my hair back either. I may end up there after I pass 50, or not. I'm happy with my little shot down CB so far. btw..i remember who you bought your radio from man.  |

You'll pass them easily. Vinnie S. I'm not worried about passing the no code test, and we have each others land line in case it's really pressing, right? Get ready to hear me on 11M in your hometown as the band opens up. If you don't hear me directly, you'll hear people calling out my name. g I'm getting ready for it again, because the last time was so much fun. |
