I guess this must be a regional thing. I haven't heard any problems

spotty in how often I pop on and listen, I haven't heard a single
episode of CB-like behavior. No cursing, everyone using callsigns,
seems ok to me.
The US was about five years behind Int'l community in dropping the

Talk to the old grouchy hams about adding no-code
tech ham radio
licenses on your local repeater, if you want your ear beat for 1/2 hour.
...but not here. No-code Tech licenses have made 2m sound like the CB
