By the way LAZARUS, you had to dig up a year old post to give me crap about? Trade some of your gear for a life.
And Snow, we've talked before, you know EXACTLY what MY problem is, I can run my rigs here and talk to Brazil, all without scratching more than a few kc's of bandwidth, legally, whereas, anytime YOU or your friends key up, the ENTIRE band is wasted for miles around your qth, let alone the harmonics that wander into the bands that I'm licensed to.
I'll be honest, there are a lot of people out here that know quite a bit about thier gear, the rest of you just know enough to be dangerous, and lack concern for fellow radio operators, most of you will openly state that you just don't care.
My radio history was rooted in the cb, I love the cb, and would use it more often if there wasn't so much asshattery about the band, two-faced snakes and the like, I don't claim to be any better than anyone else, I don't really want to be, I don't suffer from the missing-link geneticism that causes you guys to compete with your radios, but I'd also like to operate my gear without some bonehead splattering thier fried-chicken choking on afro-lingo repeatedly into an overdriven amp with some idiot-hacked "Export" radio with uncontrolled bandwidth and the spectral purity of a Frisco cesspool bleeding onto my otherwise quiet airwaves.
I never claimed to be any better than anyone, I just care about my neighbors and others that share my hobby, and don't care to ruin it for others.
/End rant
