Well, I figure this is another troll post, but for the sake of conversation, I'll go for it. Bandit doesn't say if he has the license that permits for use of 10 Meters. And, of course, 28.415 is inside that band and part of the single sideband allocation (voice). And, of course, that would be UPPER sideband. If licensed, no harm; have at it.
If not, then despite the "BIG, BAD CB REDDIO" attitude, the defiance, the disregard for rules, the disrespect for that which is assigned to others. one has to wonder if such people, particularly in the trucking industry, ever wonder WHY the public has a less than stellar impression of the profession? Truckers gripe about "stupid 4-wheelers", chafe at descriptions of drivers as uncouth, long-haired "hippy-looking" miscreants, wonder why people don't fully respect drivers. And this same thing carries thru when it comes to the use of radios. It is the SAME attitude; the bully, the "I've got this here HUGE vehicle that I can run over you with and, therefore, I have a "right" to tawk on them thar channels and you cain't stop me! The drivers make fun of the hams , and the hams make high fun of "your" so-called "SWR'sssssssssss'
and ask "how many SWR'szzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz are there in ONE feedline"? And "why do they think that they MUST have 18 feet of coax even if they don't NEED it
to get to the radio'? The drivers and CB fellows talk about how ham radio is "dying" when it is actually UP in numbers if "numbers" are the only criteria, and all hams are "old" as if
THEY will NEVER become 56 years old. They make high fun of those "old" hams who don't WANT drivers yapping on 10 Meters, and the hams make fun of CB calling it "the chicken band", the 'children's band" and other names. The drivers say that hams only talk about their aches and pains or "boring" things like the efficiency of a circuit; the hams mock the CBers and their often hick accent (put-on?) 'Tan fer thar, ah knows whutcha mean thar, shore do thar, ah gar-an-tol'je thar, mercy sakes, 'live, yore treetop tall and a-blowin' smoke, we down , we done, we gone...................SQEEEEEEEEEEK!
The cb boys go down to Joe's Truck Stop and CB Hack Shops, throw down their money for illegal "
peak and "tune(?)" jobs, illegal 10 Meter radios, amplifiers, "extree" channels and tell the whole world, 'Ah am the biggest thing (truck) and the baddest reddio station, and ah'm gonna go on them thar channels cuz I am just soooooooooooo BAD and ah got them spay-shul 'rah'ts to tawk. Ah don't need no license. And the LICENSED, LEGITIMATE users of those frequencies object-----How DARE they call into question my criminal activities? THEY see such "radio operators" as uncouth, disrespectful, outlaws, worthy of contempt. These people did NOTHING to actually EARN the privilege of having "extree channels". They went out and bought an illegal "souped up" radio, they depend on some hack that likely is NOT a electronics-degreed professional, they believe that there are such a thing as "SWR's(sssssssssss plural)"and EVERY radio must have 18 feet of coax. They are APPLIANCE operators--same as anyone who goes to Circuit City and buys a TV!
Now all this SOUNDS like a blanket condemnation of ALL drivers and CB operators. It is not. It is only supposed to get even the most outlaw operator to see the OTHER side of the issue and why the hams (most of them) see the activities of
some of the outlaw drivers/cbers as so utterly disdainful! For one thing, may of those older hams that the outlaw types make fun of actually BUILD their own equipment, particularly antennas. That curious-looking antenna that just passed you that you can't figure out could have been built by the ham himself. He also often can recognize and diagnose many problems and fix them himself rather than relying on some hack shop out back of the truck stop! 8) The outlaw simply buys a "10K" and expects someone else to set it up for him. The ham can take some copper tubing and make his OWN "10K" for pennies!
The outlaw operator never HAD to do ANYTHING for his ability to talk, nor does he know (in most cases) doodly squat about radio, so his attitude is simply one of "Hey, I bought this radio an' I kin tawk on it if I want to!!"
The licensed ham who had to study for his privileges, take tests, burn the midnight oil finds the presence of outlaws and unlicensed interlopers unfair and just plain WRONG! Is it any wonder the hams take umbrage when they find unauthorized operators on their frequencies?
To the casual, undisciplined CBer, being on 28.415 might be "funny". To the ham who WORKED for the privilege of being there, it isn't at all amusing, and it is why, when they DO find truckers operating there, they will not hesitate to drop a dime on you! That's just the way it is!

Horseplay almost got out of hand because "steve" was hyper-sensitive to his baldness. He had started going bald when he was 17. My hair didn't turn LOOSE, but it SURE is turning gray in a hurry!!!! LMAO!
