I've been a ham since 90'. I was a licensed CB user too back in the day. My call was KAJR8006. Now there is a bit of trivia! CB users would get more respect if every other word on the air wasn't F this and F that, and they actually ran legal rigs that made sense. I find most of the 11 meter band unusable, as a legal radio has a range of like a mile, and the skip and chatter from the illegals makes even local comm a joke.

KAGT4315 from the old days, almost forgot about the CB liscense

belonged to the Georgia whiskey club one time #88
also belonged to the Sidetalkers club as Sidetalker 294

KA3PFA General class since 1987 (back when you needed 13wpm code!)

And Mel reminded me, way back when I was a kid and people still got licenses for CB KFL5090... ( I think...)
I've got a CB for the truck and a handheld 2 meter for when I need it too...

VE7LAA here licensed since 05 IIRC was VY2LAA till dad passed and I moved back to BC and picked up his call sign.

Love radios, use em all the time for SAR and work. Need to get my advanced so I can sponsor a repeater locally. Then add an IRLP node too, here at the house.

Right now just 2M till I get better qualified...grrr...took test on bad day was evicted that day :( so didn't do to well...rofl.

3's n 8's to ya all as I was a CB'r years ago...Lil Bigfoot was the handle.

this is just my 2 cents on some radios and yes the all band base/moble units can do SSB for all the unlicensed hams and can get out there better than a small rig
