Hm.... You were employed by George Bush and he fired you? [I couldn't resist!].
Anyway, I'm curious why you care so much about illegal CB amplifiers. Is
the fact that some CB'ers are running illegal power a problem in your
life? Now, I am *not* defending illegal operation on the CB band, but
really, what *is* the problem for you? Apparently, the FCC does not view
this as enough of a problem to go after - which they could easily do,
should they choose. I''ve been a ham for 32 years and have never had any
problems whatsoever from any CB'ers - illegal power or not. How is this
causing a problem for you?
