    FCC at the tolls and scales

    simple solution. sunset CB on 11 meters. put it on a set of frequencies that does not skip like 11 meters. or just relax the rules enjoy the commerce and tax revenue that this activity generate. this is a old discussion and will never be solved until and when the cb service as we know it today...

    Who cares where the list comes from. Now CW is providing you with what you asked for. The question remains as always who cares? hardly anyone. The Fcc lost the Battle a long time ago. With only about %20 of incoming overseas freight being inspected that leaves a-lot of uninspected shipping...
