I've got an idea, how about all the people that don't like CB/export radios stop posting in the CB/export area?
Notice how the hams are always down here slumming it, and just can't help themselves but to post their opinions on everything.
Guys, if CB radios are junk, and CB radio behavior is beneath you; there's the door!
use it.
If you actually enjoy hanging out in this area of the forum, then it's time to integrate with the existing society instead of trying to change it to suit your culture! (don't make me build a wall! LOL)
learn the language at least!
honestly do any of you really think that there is a CBer alive who doesn't already know that amateur radio equipment is designed and built to a higher standard of quality than CB radios???
Why do people insist on buying these junk boxes and paying way too much for them?
why don't you go ask your wives what they think of the amount of money you spend on ham equipment?
I have heard a few of them use the word junk before LOL.
CB radios are cool! they look cool, they have a hell of a lot of style, and they are fun to operate. they are also fun to open up and play with.
If i get a crazy idea of a mod i want to try, i can pick up an old junker and hack at it to my hearts content, and only be out two digits worth of money.
I don't do it because im trying to turn my CB into a ham radio, i do it because IT'S FUN!!!
now, if a new member posts here asking why they can't talk across the country whenever they want, even though they have a brand new 98VHP, THEN is the time to chime in with the benefits of the ham hobby.
otherwise, ask yourself why you are even here reading this post.
Everyone on this forum knows that the CB/Export section is the heartbeat of the forum and the place where all the fun/drama happens.
If you are constantly down here reading and posting, guess what! you're a CBer!
Some of you really need to admit to yourselves how bored you are with ham radio.
Oh, and CK, again i will ask you to please stop trying to parent everyone as if you being fed up with a subject is what makes a thread lock-worthy.
you obviously don't like CB radio much, and while you seem like a good dude, you don't seem to have much fun down here.
if anyone else had de-railed this thread the way you did, you would have torn them a new one.
