I ran a pair of 6JG6's driven by a Utica Town&Country II in 1970 as
KCR-1567.

No internet nit-pickers back then to deal with...just some TVI on the family
TV set.

Been a ham now for 30-plus years...a little 11 Meter hi-jinx never hurt me,
or anyone else for that matter.

I have to disagree with the "anyone else" part of that.

CB'ers, with their flouting of the law and childish behavior have
brought disrespect toward *all* private radio operators, including
fully licensed and legal hams. It's not as bad now as it was a few
years ago, but the stain still remains. Establishing the Citizens Band
was the worst mistake the FCC ever made, bar none.

At least on 75 they don't go out of their way to sound like a cheap
imitation of Smokey the Bandit.

10-4 good buddy?

Ya know, that is an excellent point really. What does it hurt? Can it
ever be stopped? Nope.. I wish I still cared about stuff like that
but I just don't. Have fun with your cb amp who ever you are, life is
short . :-) Best wishes.
