Have been a "ham radio operator" for so long I
really
never found anythng negative about it. People have
always understood the difference between a Ham and a
CB'er. I guess opinions vary with what generation
your in. As far a tradions go I think we have lost
enough of them recently. Move over "Hams" new
technology and big business is slowly taking over.
