As a no code general, I must fall into that invader category too.

You also sound like you have a problem with those who got their start in the CB bands over 30 years ago, like me. If the FCC makes this change then those bands would no longer be just "general band" anymore. I'm just a "TECHNICIAN" and have been for almost two years and can say that the changes will not stop me from getting my general but will get me experience in the bands before I leap off into the fray. I don't think it will cause any more problems than all ready exists. Enforcement of current rules is what is needed, not holding operators back because a few have no respect for the rules.. If you want amateur radio to grow and not continue it's decline among younger operators then more operators need to get with the program and welcome changes that hopefully will do just that. It's not your bands, it's our bands and I respectfully disagree with your statement.

Allow these operators to flood over into the General Class operating prividlges will spell the end to Amateur Radio and doom our remaining bands to the same QRM as the old Citizen Band.
