Hello Henry and all HAMS,
If you could hear all the nonsense that comes out of Mexico (or anywhere
else) and all the QRM, you would understand that it's lawless country
where anything goes.
CB serves one and ONLY one purpose for me and a few other Hams, in itself
it is a beacon band when nothing can be heard on 12 or 10 meters. Often
the bands are open and there is simply no one there. Beacons being mostly
QRP, it is difficult to hear them even under the best conditions. When I
tune across 11M and hear a screaming mad house there is propagation on 12
and 10, but when all I hear is background static it's a correct
assumption that there is no point in calling CQ on 12 or 10.
As for a beacon on 11M, it's as useless as tits on a bull.
FYI, CB is dead in most if not all of the US, I hear nothing at all
unless "the skip is running" and every trucker I know including the old
time CBers here little to nothing wherever they go, so the rigs go in the
trash. OOPS! Make that "hear", sorry.
Sooner or later, Miguel will get the picture and realize that HAMS have
no real use for CB and consider it wasted spectrum, even the commercial
services consider it worthless or they would have petitioned the FCC and
the FCC would have GLADLY given it to them.
