This is *WHY* one must not "Blend" Amateur Radio with "CB"

if a CB operator, can get on the air, without a license, that means it is free to air, and a ham radio operator has to pay for his license every year, who is really on the hobby band

 

When you receive a license for ANYTHING from Government, it is also a contract to behave in a specific manner. Drivers' licenses, permits to carry concealed weapons, business licenses- all of these have penalties for violating the laws that come with them.

Maybe Mr Torres would like to live in Mexico, it will be much easier to argue with his family and friends when he's closer.

 

1) You don't have to pay for the license only to cover the cost of the test a one time charge.

2) 100% of CBers have a FCC license go read the rules .....


Sec. 95.404 (CB Rule 4) Do I need a license?

You do not need an individual license to operate a CB station. You
are authorized by this rule to operate your CB station in accordance
with the rules in this subpart.

( A blanket license ... )

 

I just recently became a ham, I didn't pay anything for my license except maybe some of my time to studying. Yes the exam materials costed me $15, but my license is good for 10 years. That might be too much for some, but the only thing is I now do not have to wait for skip to kick in (which is hit or miss) or "try" to find someone passing thru to have a good chat on the CB.

The CB however is still good on the interstates and that's why I still have one.

 

I think this is the worst singer I have ever heard. But so funny I had to post it.

I am A extra and can say sometimes CB can be fun but when a Trucker pulls into a truck stop and just lets out a long dead key he is asking for trouble I did not know about RF direction finding equipment till I became a Ham. No wonder some truckers up to get the Tweak and Peak with there CB and Get a Liner Amp. I am thinking of getting a Mobile Multi band Radio to talk to wife and check in on HF Nets No drop call to wife
