Why would anyone go to the trouble of trying to bring a 3 watt HT to 5 watts,
when a new (and probably better) unit can be had for about  $50?

Speaking of linears, at Radio Expo a couple of weeks ago I saw a table full
of K40's, Cobras, Midlands, and Realistics... and a single  10 meter amp,
labled "4 in, 60 out".

Duhhh.  This is called "un-subtle".

Yikes, they get married younger all the time! Or, maybe I'm being a Moron
to assume Tiffany is twelve years old based on the teenaged flames she
generates....

Now, Tiffany, you don't need to go non-linear on account of this flame...

Though the wording is a bit poor I think I understand this persons 
frustrations.  Having a government that will not respond to such obvious 
problems starts to invite vigilante tactics.  What I think should be done 
is more concerned people getting together and applying joint pressure to 
our lethargic government.  Has anyone actually informed the FCC of a 
violator (in the CB band) and had them do anything?  If so, let me know how 
this was accomplished.  They don't seem to work in my area.

Actually, it would be relatively trivial. All the cable company would have
to do is break the coax and see which side of the cable the signal was on.
They could pinpoint the location very quickly.

Nope, most hams ON THE AIR are either recounting how much better it was
in the 30's, when they were on the cutting edge of technology, or are
getting in obnoxious flame wars on 20m, 160m, ....  You know, except for the
bootleggers, the most polite band I've seen in ham is the 10m novice band.
(I'm talking HF only, though).

Oh, and then there's the 2m jockies, who are getting in repeater wars.
A bunch of firends of mine got harassed during field day 'cause they were 
camped out underneath a fire tower on which a very rude group of hams
had put their own private repeater.  They had not asked permission of the
forest service, and they had not asked the local repeater coordinator.
Then they came in posing as forestry personel to try to kick my friends
out.  My friends had been using that plot for field day for a number of
years, and had all the proper permits.  Turns out that these hams were
afraid that my friends were from another local repeater group and were
going to tear down their repeater.

I'd say when it comes to CB, most hams tend to take the US gov't way of
dealing with the situation.  Either ignore it, or, "point out the
smoke comming out of someone elses house, ignoring the flames comming
out of their own".

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Then again, if he still has the First Class, it must be a special
issuance, since they were done away with in 1982 in favor of the 
General Radiotelephone license (the old Second Class). 

Whatever that means?  What gaining a commercial license means is that
like ham radio, you took the time to study a lot of archane theory,
mathematics, rules, and regulations.  You also had to take this test
in parts (1, then 2, then 3, then 4) over the course of time, and,
on the back of previous licenses, had to have the endoresement of 
previous employers as to whether your service was satisfactory or not.

What the license gave you, in terms of priviledges, was the ability
to earn a living by: 1) fixing commercial radio gear (business, cb,
etc.) 2) working as a transmitter engineer or chief engineer of a
broadcast station (radio or tv), and meant that you at least had
something of a professional attitude.  

In 1982, to the consternation of many in the industry, the FCC, in
its bureaucratic wisdom, combined the 2nd and 1st into the "General"
radiotelephone license...the first disappeared, as did the 3rd class.

BTW, the licenses were only good for 5 years at a stretch, you had to
renew them (with endorsements...) at that time...
