I was a CBer from the first legalised CB Days with various networks all over the South East coast from Essex, Kent and beyond, I was a channel 9 Monitor for several years and never once needed to boost signal strength beyond rig capacity reaching out as far as Istanbul on freak atmospherics so using the Q codes and the 10 codes was using ones manners and respect to other users no matter who they were even side banders and hams, all got shown respect, something I expected to see here on ham but see none of it so far, can respect and decency be shown to an ex CBer want to advance or an I wasting my time, maybe I will get an answer now, we will see. Be straight with me and I will be straight with you I am learning to be able to take my foundation, make me feel its worth going for or not, you tell me
