>>This so-called "CBer Extraordinare", who is NOT a licensed amateur even

>>ostensibly for licensed amateurs and boast that he has an amplifier capable
>>of exceeding not only the CB power limit (5 w.), but egregiously exceed the
>>1,500 w limit imposed on LICENSED amateurs.
>>
>>When I called his boast to the attention of Mr. Riley Hollingsworth, the new
>>"enforcer" for the FCC, this Jeff Wolf non-licensed character, reacted as
any
>>criminal would act. He denied his wrong-doing and spewed forth foul
language
>>and baseless charges, vituperation and acrimony towards any who dare call
him
>>on his scofflaw behavior.
>>
>>I, and others dare this CBer to produce his bona-fide amateur license. He
>>ain't got one, 10-4?
>And if he should offer his call, what then?
>
Today, in the U. S., thanks to the FCC, amateur radio licenses can be
bought, Phil. .cheers
