What really irritates me is for someone to ask me if my screwdriver hf 
antenna is for CB.
I reply "Well it could be if I wanted it to be but no, it is a ham radio 
antenna and can tune itself to ANY band I choose.
 I am a Ham radio operator, I talk WHEN AND TO WHERE I WANT TO, you talk 
when you can!

CB!
