    Now think about your post ......

    I have been licensed for CB for about 46 years and HAM almost as long ...
    You will NEVER see me post things like " CHICKEN BANDER " since that is kind like using the "N" word and nither gets anyone anywhere .......

    He even though he is caustic and sometims anoying still is tring to make a point .... that is there are rules ..... and he feels you need to at least TRY to follow them ......

    PERSONLY ......

    Since I use CB all the time have a good deal of contact with the average guy on that band and lissen to them and try to understand why they do things that they do ...... Remember I am a RADIO TECH FOR A SHERIFF OFFICE AT A JAIL ........ so obaying laws is something i tend to do .......

    And as I have stated if people stay off 10 meters 99.999% of us hams don't care it''s not our call or problem that is up to the FCC .... And we know how good they are at their jobs .........

    Just my 2 cents ......

    Samual Morse .....

    I think CW was his brother :biggrin_25525:

    CW is a very good mode which I'm not very good at but with very small receiver bandwith you can hear very weak stations unlike even SSB .... which takes 2 khz CW will work at 50 HZ ........

    Then your one of the few good ham ops. If you have been in the hobby for that long then i would think you have heard the derogatory comments made about CB operators as well.


    "He even though he is caustic and sometims anoying still is tring to make a point .... that is there are rules ..... and he feels you need to at least TRY to follow them ......"

    Sure there are rules. It is one thing to try and inform others about the possible repercussions of disregarding those rules. But it something completely different when you sit up on your high horse talking down to others,belittling them while telling them what they NEED to do! An attitude like that only serves to piss people off, he knows it and enjoys doing it! It also does little to shine a positive light on those in and around the amateur radio Hobie.


    ...you know what they say about one bad apple.

    What is the biggest lie in ham radio ........:biggrin_25520:

    I WOULD NEVER GO ON CB .........


    FACT IS ...... 95% started ON CB ......

    If a CBer stays off the Ham bands I don't have a problem with him but you well know some just got to go there and THAT's where the rub between most hams and CB gets started.

    You can find me on CH21 about 5am weekdays or Ch13 on Sundays about 11am

    For anyone who is a ham try 28.360 USB between 11AM and 2pm Sundays

    I'm in a fight with the county over my antennas but as soon as that is solved I hope to have a R-7 up ......

    I totally believe in freedom of speech. But there is a thing called politeness.
    The word Gadfly is owned by no one. It is a word per the definition.
    Everybody has the right to say what they want but it can be taken to the excess.
    If a person can obviously hate CBers I reserve the right to be annoyed with somebody that hates me to excess.
    I think a person that is so passionate about a subject should point it in the right direction rather than criticism to the point of an annoyance.
    I think that is his point but i i respect his right to speak his peace.
    The truth does hurt though.

    I refer to my original posts.

    When you say that the word Gadfly is owned by no one, you are right in a certain sense However in this particular post, you acknowldge that you are indicating the user who has the name Gadfly. In this essence, then the word is owned by the user and you have aimed your attack at him..albeit in disguise. refer to the above.

    You are in the wrong.

    Enjoy the rest of the posts. I have no more time to deal with someone who intentionally misrepresents the truth to try to save face
