Ham radio is more restricted than CB in what you can and can not say.. I the 90's there was also a habit of hams being snobs towards CB users because they had to pass a test.

Personally I started on CB in the mid 80's and passed my ham test in '91.. Never though left CB behind and used to enjoy both.. CB for the social side and ham for the technical side including packet radio.

Russ as for extreme snobbery you should have heard it on ham radio when the novice licence came out.. The full licence holders (especially the then A class) were extremely disgusting to listen to when talking down to some novice licence holders
