I use CB extensively. I do not have my ticket yet, but do hope to in
the future. I would really like to see a packet allowed on 27 mhz.
I started a radio club awhile ago, we are very interested in packet, ham
and other radio aspects, however, the money and living conditions limit
most of the members from moving on. A license free packet operation would
for sure get more people started. 
 
My vote is yes, and I can say that so is the vote of our radio club.
