I agree, Bill. I don't think we should encourage CBers to operate QRO.
But why restrict the sale of ham amplifiers to hams on 10 Meters? The
fact is that the same people who obey the CB laws would also obey those
laws if ham amplifiers were not restricted. Those who break the CB power
limit laws law will tend to do so no matter how many laws or restrictions
there are on the sale of 10M amplifiers to hams, etc.
Prohibiting 10M commercial amps from being sold is like saying that a
non-handicapped person can't park withing 20 yards of a handicapped
parking spot.
I agree that handicap spots are OK. I also feel that I should be able to
park right NEXT to a handicap spot without impunity. In ham radio, as an
amplifier manufacturer I cannot do that. I can't legally sell a 10 Meter
amplifier to a ham (at least not according to the rules as I understand
them).
My point is that no matter how many additional laws we pass to try to
enforce a particular standard, there are still people that will continue
to break that law regardless.
