No it is just the operators that make it that way.

Re: Is CB like a contest to see who can make their radio sound the most shitty?
Why paint all CBers with the same brush over a few no brainers over the
years, the same could be said about Ham Ops but that inst the truth as you get good and bad in everything. Most Cbers that are from the 70s as i am are good radio ops, we get a few losers but that don't make all CBers losers. Show me a ham op that's happy and never gone over the power he is lic for, that's the same as driving a car show me a person that has never gone over the speed limit even is its half a K above. If a CBer is happy to stay a CBer it don't mean they are to thick to do a ham exam. Some people think that being a ham makes them a better person, they fool themselves in believing this. . Allot of ham ops started out on CB radio and lernt by playing with CB radios seeing what they can do with them and then moved up to a ham lic as they understood and liked electronics, not everyone does or can.

No, they simply blame bad Amateur practice on M3's or pirates branding them CB'ers even though when these idiots mess about on the bands they do not give out their callsigns so it could even be a "revered" G licence. No one really knows but hey... blame CB as it's easy. > Most Cbers that are from the 70s as i am are good radio ops, we get a few > losers > but that don't make all CBers losers. Of course it doesn't. Some idiots meet up with someone who is as thick as a plank so generalise all CB operators the same. Whereas good operators blend into the background and don't show themselves up like the idiots do so go unnoticed by those who flamboyantly decide "all CB'ers are the same". > Show me a ham op that's happy and never gone over the power he is lic for, > that's the same as driving a car show me a person that has never gone over > the > speed limit even is its half a K above. If someone claims they, or someone they know, is totally innocent of the above, I will show you a liar......... > If a CBer is happy to stay a CBer it don't mean they are to thick to do a > ham exam. CB is a general communication tool for local chit chat. It suits many people just to have a chat with friends on the air, rather than pay phone bills and it's a lifeline to some who can't get out and about due to ill health to keep in touch with the outside world. Talking about things can help people, not everyone wants a computer and internet chatrooms. You have to pay for this, the computer in the first place, the connection, and so on. Not every CB operator wants to DX and take things to the next level where they repair/build etc... The same as car drivers...... car drivers like to drive. In the same example, unless you were a mechanic and could strip and re-build your engine you must be thick.... > Some people think that being a ham makes them a better person, they fool > themselves > in believing this. . It's quite funny sometimes watching the old 'A' class licence Amateurs having a pop at the 'B' licence Amateurs when the only difference between them is the 'A' class were so geeky they learnt Morse code and boy... do they harp on about it... big bloody deal.... an outdated form of communication that has been dropped through lack of interest. Some 'A's go on about it because it is the only thing they ever passed and hold it dear to them as it's the only thing that they think gives them an edge... > Allot of ham ops started out on CB radio and lernt by playing with CB radios > seeing > what they can do with them and then moved up to a ham lic as they understood > and > liked electronics, not everyone does or can. Not everyone, as you say, wants to know how the bloody thing works. As long as it does and it works properly and they can use it correctly then they are happy. What is wrong with that? Someone said just the other day, "if it's not G it's just CB", completely ignoring the achievements of M0's etc... The only difference again, being that old bloody Morse nonsense........ Never mind though, in 20 years or so there will be hardly any 'G's left and Amateur radio will be a much more friendlier, interesting place.......... 73' Graham (patiently awaiting the ensuing flames) -- -.-. -... / .-. .- -.. .. --- Radio is only a Hobby.

Plenty of up and coming M3's to talk to.

Re: Is CB like a contest to see who can make their radio sound the most shitty?
Unfortunatly this happens just about everywhere on CB Radio hence why I
dont use it anymore. Where I live, your best to leave it switched off, unless you want to hear wanna-be police officers playing sirens and CFA pager tones. You would probably get a more decent conversation with commercial users on CB Radio here. |

That's a shame. Really. Works, fine in the bush. 88% of the time, anyway. Different folks, I suppose. If this was a perfect world, we, probably, wouldn't be in it. |
