   Licences were compulsory in Australia, but it was a simple matter of filling in   
   the paperwork and paying the fee.  No other qualifications or documentation   
   needed.  That was the "Citizens" part of "Citizens Band" - anyone could get a   
   licence by simply paying the fee.  It was estimated about half the people on CB   
   were unlicensed in 1990.

   My official CB callsign was VGE610. :)
