    For good reason,you jerkoff.

    hmmmm, seems to me you've just proven his point there Smole. :)

    Indeed you are correct. :) To be honest though, many in the CB
    community have brought it on themselves with the foul language and
    so on and so forth but what far too many hams don't understand that
    it is a small but very vocal minority of CB'ers who hog the

    seldom talked on it and if I did get into a chat session with
    someone we usually went to our company channel for quiet. <g>

    Ham radio operators *ARE* superior to any other class of radio operator.
    Unless you have some half-assed, Clintonesque definition of 'Superior'.

    If anyone thinks they can name a class of radio operator superior to (or

    Just got done with a 7,000 mile/2week trek with both 2m and 11m in the car. I'll admit there were one or two times when I had to turn the 11m off just
    to keep the air from getting too "blue" in the car, but for the most part
    the conversation on both radios was pleasant and not at all as abusive as I hear locally. I'm thinking that most of the trouble might come from base stations...

    Ham radio operators are -- by law -- entitled to build new radio
    transmitters from scratch, test and align them themselves, and operate
    them upon the bands. US Naval radio operators, USAF bomber and transport
    radio operators, radio telescope operators and CB operators are not
    allowed -- by law -- to do this.

    In fact, ham radio operators are THE ONLY CLASS OF RADIO OPERATOR in the
    entire world, that are allowed -- by law -- to operate equipment that had
    has not been type-approved by the authorities (in your country, that would
    be the FCC). Strangely enough, the FCC staff *themselves* are not allowed
    to operate any radio equipment that has not been type-approved by the FCC itself.

    Only ham radio operators are considered -- by law -- to have the skill,
    ability and training, to be safely allowed to construct and operate non-type-approved equipment.

    Hell, I'm not even warmed up yet! I could go on and on!

    Goody! Well, when your warm-up process causes you to reach an above-
    freezing temperature, we will discuss what class of operator is the only
    class of operator allowed -- by law -- to operate a VFO as opposed to channelized equipment.

    That or a lot of times around the bigger cities you'll hear the
    mindless chatter from some of the mindless truck drivers at the
    truck stop. I can recall one such incident in Stony Ridge Ohio where
    one such stupid driver was using really blue language on the radio.
    After a short conversation with him telling him to clean up his
    garbage on the air, he challenged me to come out and I said only if
    I bring my 357 with me... hmmm, turns out he was only a couple
    trucks down from me. Now he got really brave and decided to call my
    bluff..... stepped down from his truck and I reached down to grab my
    "tire billy" , he looked up at me... went back to his truck and
    never said a word the rest of the night. <g>

    Ya know, you guys are going to break your arm trying to pat

    needed messages back and forth. We just thought it was the right

    btw... you need to patch your bluewave.
    I was wondering about that... Sean asked if I needed it, but
    I see the dates appear correct over here.... I suppose its out-going?
    Lord knows its better than any other QWK mail reader.... I use SLMR,
    Multi-Mail, and mountain reader and they all show the date as something
    around '94 or something.... can't remember.... makes figuring out
    how old a message is hard!

    Quoting Corey to John Guillory <=-

    yeah, but mayo on old hams? yak.
    Well, how old are we talking about? 75, 80, 200 years old?
    Or are you talking about a pig that walked the earth with Jesus?
    Is it old enough that the fungus growing on it is hard to tell
    apart from the hair on the pig's back?

    ... I call things as I see them; If I didn't see them, I make them up!

    just a nice old aged ham, maybe a black forest or something.

    naah.. still needs patched, if you'll look at the nicks of the people your replying to it puts a number in front of their handle.

    I believe there's a bluewave patche instead of the regular tppatch, been a while since i've done it.

    ...and that was probably illegal. CB has a height restriction but nobody checked, I'm sure.

    I also wonder how powerful the linear was.

    Ahh, a 92 yr old pig, eh.... You realize the older we get the older it is
    we consider someone has to be before we consider them old.... Back when we
    was 15, we thought 30 was "old". Once we was 30, we began to think 60 was
    old..... We round out our 40's and realize the 50's and 60's are near...
    90 is old.... By the time we get to our 60's, anything 2 digits is
    young.... I imagine by the time we hit 100, there is no such thing as
    old..., and everybody on the face of the earth should bow down and kiss
    your feet, because you know more than anyone else anyway! ;-) So where
    do you buy a 110 year old pig any way?

    Hello W8ZZU.

    While chewing on a twig, you spoke thus to me:

    or whatever one or two of us would be up at that station
    relaying needed messages back and forth. We just thought it was
    the right thing to do and felt no need to brag about it or feel
    superior.

    ...and that was probably illegal. CB has a height restriction
    but nobody checked, I'm sure.

    Yep, probably was as per the letter of the law but since it was
    providing a needed and desired communications effort no one seemed
    to mind. Also, the only time that particular setup was used was
    when there was threatening weather. :)

    FWIW, a local Ham operator helped us set it up. :)

    No linear needed from that , very high on a hill, location. :) On a
    good day, testing mode, it was not too hard to exceed the 60 mile
    limit and that was on the AM side. :)
