Have a look at Ten meters 28.085 daily there is a meeting place for
truckers. I have had numerous problems with the CB truckers landing
on the weak signal beacon area 28.200-28300. Why create laws if you
take the attitude "Well it's not bothering me"

Hm.... You were employed by George Bush and he fired you? [I couldn't
resist!].
Anyway, I'm curious why you care so much about illegal CB amplifiers.
Is
the fact that some CB'ers are running illegal power a problem in your
life? Now, I am *not* defending illegal operation on the CB band,
but
really, what *is* the problem for you? Apparently, the FCC does not
view
this as enough of a problem to go after - which they could easily
do,
should they choose. I''ve been a ham for 32 years and have never had
any
problems whatsoever from any CB'ers - illegal power or not. How is
this
causing a problem for you?
Regards,
Steve WA1QIX
