Now that the twittering of the birdbrains has died away, let us bring this group back to what it is intended for; a discussion group on the subject of Ham Radio.
Remember, Ham Radio is a technical pursuit for those suitably motivated and qualified. It involves some operating of radios, but only after one's efforts in technical experimentation, training and evaluation have taken place. Any conversations that arise are always about technical matters.
CB Radio, and it's other manifestations (M3/CB Radio and the CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams), by contrast, are for those who have the brains of turnips; who use their Cheque Books (CB) to buy off-the-shelf equipment that they are unable to modify or to repair. Any conversation from CBers is typified by personal insulting remarks, much as they spew forth in this NG.
