    JA> I remember having a license, but I thought it was voluntary. The whole   
    JA> point of "citizen's band" was it was open for citizens to use - no   
    JA> license needed.   
      
    TL> Licences were compulsory in Australia, but it was a simple matter of   
    TL> filling in the paperwork and paying the fee.  No other qualifications   
    TL> or documentation needed.  That was the "Citizens" part of "Citizens   
    TL> Band" - anyone could get a licence by simply paying the fee.   
      
   Now that part is the same - people that did get a license just paid the   
   fee here and it was done. No test, etc.

    JA> Just did a google - apparently there are other people that would like   
    JA> to know their old CB license. :-)   
      
    TL> I still remember mine (see above). :)   
      
   My wife remembers her dad's too, back in the day.
