Not likely. What fee handout licenses? There still are a couple of written
exams (not that they are overly difficult, mind you). 73 from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA "WA8ULX" wrote in message ...

This is actually not such a bad idea. I've always supported dropping the
155.3 mi. limit on CB and the idea of allowing hams to reduce their power and elmer CBers on channels 36 through 40 USB on the finer point of DXing. I think it'd be a great recruitment tool, just MHO. I once tried to "school" a guy on DXing. He's a little too slow for help. I have even made DX contacts and passed 'em on to him. |

I think it'd be a great recruitment tool, just MHO. If you espouse the above, it is evidence that you have no understanding about what CB is supposed to be for and you cannot keep ham radio and CB separate as they should be. What you are describing is hamming, not proper (some call it "legal") CB operating. One of the odd things about the animosity between CB and ARS users, is that here in Alaska CB was a *very* beneficial service used pretty much as intended in most Alaskan locations. Because I worked in the (long distance) telecom business, the places where I've lived were always communications centers, and CB was never popular in those areas. But I also spent a lot of years traveling to nearly half of the villages in Alaska... and in many villages for many years CB was the way people kept in touch with their neighbors until roughly 1980 or so, by which time telephones had been installed in almost all villages. But even after that happened CB remained very popular in many coastal areas with perhaps the single exception of here in Barrow (larger boats, mostly used for whaling, were and still are commonly equipped with VHF marine radios here). During years of higher sunspot activity the skip that was experienced on CB was a general nuisense to most Alaskan users because it generated an unnecessary racket where the radio was, and interfered with monitoring for significant (perhaps emergency) traffic from neighbors. Between cell phones and VHF radios, I don't think anyone on Alaska much cares anymore what they do with CB regulations. -- Floyd L.
