It was a lot worse in the late 70's early 80's here
especially when the "new" legal FM system kicked in. Truckers stayed on AM and the new licensed operators would get washed out by them especially those who fitted huge home antenna's and 100w amps. a 4w radio was no match and the slagging matches that ensued where a joy to behold with physical violence and equipment damage not uncommon. with such short ranges it was a lot easier to find somebody and there was no hiding behind a keyboard :)
