I haven't used it, either, but I did make note
of the rule change since I get the Daily Digest.

WA2SI, Burt (watoosee), was a major force working on that.
I have the bumper sticker he had made to push that.
Glad the FCC finally realized you can't stop a radio wave...

>>> Operating skip is illegal on CB according to FCC part 95.  The furthest you can talk is 155.3 miles(and no, I have no idea where that number came from).  In addition, hams have no authority to communicate on CB using their call signs. They can use CB, but not as hams.  Years ago, way after I became a ham, I obtained a CB license, which was required back then, so I could operate on their channels while driving cross country.
