I can say without a doubt of all technically oriented communities the HAM radio community is by far the most rude, hostile, and least educated in their field of any group.
The amount of just pure idiocy and lack of understanding of even the basics is astonishing considering this is a licensed trade.
@freemo I beg to differ. The CB peeps suck balls. Yeah yeah you've got your idiot jokers on the ham side, but what I've found only being a licensed ham for only 4 months is a lot of respectful PPL I've had QSO's with so far.
So few points here...
> I beg to differ.
Fair, lets see.
> The CB peeps suck balls.
They do I agree (seems we dont differ after all). Notice I was explicit in "technically oriented" I would nto consider a CB'er technically oriented as they only buy the radios, they are not expected to understand them.
It would be like calling someone "technically oriented" for being able to make a phone call just because a phone is RF.
