The difference is the testing. CB does not require any type of test, we do.
Now, it may not be as tough as some would like, but I bet most who complain
that it is too easy would not be able to pass it now. Just as most of the
Extra's who took 20 WPM test and complain about the Extra Lites could not
pass even 5 WPM now.

So tell me again how we respond to a lay person who might be curious
about the hobby who says "Oh ham radio. You mean like CB?"
A significant difference no longer exists
If it is worth having its worth working for
What next?
License applications at Radio Shack?
