     As a historical comment, ... CB was not created out of non-ham radio
spectrum.  It was taken from ham radio. It was the old 11 meter
ham band.  I've been a ham for only 19 years or so, & it was already
taken away back then. 
     Once upon a time I used to have a Heathkit DX-100 (now known 
as boat anchor) that had 11 meters on it.  Next time you are at a hamfest 
look at those B.A.'s!   Perhaps there are some old-timers on the net that 
can enlighten upon the political reasons for CB creation and such, so 
that we can see how the situation then compares with the no-code situation now.
