Hucky,  I guess the biggest reason is safety.  If you arent careful or dont have things set up right you could get hurt.  We are dealing with some pretty big power.  You can actually get burned if you come in contact with an antenna while transmitting.  Also these signals reach around the world so they just dont want anyone transmitting unless they know who it is.  Griff would probably be able to elaborate more than I.




Thanks Scott,  Wait til you geet 45 years old, it gets harder to learn stuff.
I struggle with sentences every now and then,  AGE.
Congrats on your passing

So this is different than a CB base type radio?
Griff fill me in.
