Default FCC drops morse code requirement for all HAM licenses

What year did the 11 meter ham band become CB?



1956, I think. Everyone's call started with a number of the FCC district,
then W then 4 digits...until they ran out of W's real quick and switched to
Q's for some strange reason. WA2STR, Howard, got 20Q1802 in the second
10,000 CB batch. His QSL with both written in green magic marker on an
aerial view of Moravia, NY, hangs proudly, still, over my desk....

Tracked like a dog, every license/product/tax.
Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor,
free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads:
17 and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name...
