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. :)
