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.
