Ok, so maybe not all CB'ers are Chickenbanders. Let's explore --
A CB'er owns a President Fillmore or whatever.
A Chickenbander has a Yaesu 1000MP modded for 27 MHz operation
A CB'er ratchetjaws on channels 1 thru 40, crystal controlled.
A Chickenbander might use channels 1 thru 40, but also jaw jacks with duck pluckas in the "free band" and on "the cotton pickin' 10 meters HAM channel."
A CB'er studies for his ham test. Might go no higher than NCT, but at least he cracks a book or two.
A Chickenbander displays his jealousy of hammies, hamsters, ham nerds, and stuck up "HAM" operators.
A CB'er runs 5 watts, or whatever the PEP limit on SSB is.
A Chickenbander runs enough power to light up Milwaukee for a long Winter evening.
A CB'er will chew out a cotton picker that doesn't ask for the break before keying up.
A Chickenbander will settle the matter with busted knuckles and cracked skulls behind the Burger King.
A CB'er will simply ignore your request for directions and roadside assistance on Channel 19.
A Chickenbander will key up and step on you when you ask for help, and make fun of your "College Boy accent."
A CB'er will get his NCT, but still declare his loyalty to CB, where at least he can still work some DX.
A Chickenbander will wait until the code requirement goes away, then guess his way to a General Class ticket and bring CB to the ham bands. HAW!
