I think it depends where in in the country you are PJ.

Paul has endured some stupidity from Hams in his area.

Personally I come from the CB blood line and in the areas I operate, I've never had any problems either with Amateurs, nor CBers. Maybe I've just been lucky.

Nothing wrong with an M3 or M6 c/s. A friend of mine is a VERY experienced naval radio operator ( retired) His thing is CW, but he has no need of greater power or privileges than is permitted with his M3 C/S. He is completely content as an M3 and has great fun with smart asses who try tease him in morse, wrongly assuming him to be a newbee, only to find themselves completely outgunned by his skills:-)

Good for you getting your license. Hope you are enjoying the airwaves.
