being a scofflaw..
I find this humorous I guess you are making a funny right?
Considering I am on 80 meters quite often and hear the most foul language, sickos talking trash. Behavior that is only rivaled by the worst CB'er I find your critique rather suspect.
Considering that many CB'ers are actually Amateurs working Amateur equipment on CB I find this post funny. I have a group here who bounce from 28.365 USB to 27.365 LSB all day long with the same radios. So are they being a scofflaw? I would say yes since they are all ticket holders.
I hear people on 20 meters acting like fools as well.
I hold a ticket and I have made it practice to not tell anyone unless I am on the air and need to use it. I don't care for hypocrites and many many amateurs are just that. Well most...
I would only tell the person to use that rig with human decency and professionalism. And I would invite him to get his ticket so we can have some real people again on the Amateur bands and not the stuffy old men who think their fecal matter smells like fresh cut roses.
Why don't I use my Extra class call here? Because of people like you, who would try and black ball me because I disagree. Yes it's been tried before.
I do not let the imbeciles on 27.365/28.365 know I am an extra as well, as these idiots are not Hams, they are scum hypocrites. They talk down to CB'ers and act worse than any CB'er I have heard to date. So who are the scofflaws?
I started in CB in 1968
Why waste your 706 on 11 meters? Challenge yourself man and get a
ham licence. Use that 706 for all its worth, without being a scofflaw.
I tried and tossed CB into the trash long ago as have some other
fellows that I know. As for 11 meter pseudo-hams---
I quote am old Jewish proverb:
"If someone calls you an ass- ignore him.
But if you find that you have tall ears-
buy yourself a saddle."
