There is no code of ethics.

This is a simple case of a respected manufacturer, amplifier expert, 
published author, licensed US Amateur operator, and member of the amps 
reflector telling people in a worldwide forum he advocates jamming.  Put 
simple enough, eh?

Yes, lets get back to technical debates, not debates based on 
technicalities.

It boils down to this:  Most all of the people here who have spent the last 
week bashing CBers, if approached by an admitted CBer to be elmered, would 
respond with distaste.

I wonder why the amateur bands have gone to pot.

People here complain about the CB crowd that has "migrated" to the amateur 
bands.  Take a good look at the calls in use on 75, then look them up and 
see how long they have had their "tickets".  You will find that most of them 
are pre-no-code.  The 2 meter problem?  Well, the CBers that migrated sure 
did compound the problem, no doubt about that, but the problem was created 
long before the CBers got no-code.  The CBers just give the amateur 
community in the US a good scapegoat..  "All our problems came about because 
of no-code.."

This is a subject that people are going to have to agree to disagree on.  I 
have my views, they are shared by some, others have theirs...
