I hear what you are saying. Getting confused with a CB'er was common and as you know they are polar opposites. In my community Ham operators were pretty organized and worked drills with the American Red Cross and Local law enforcement. Back then I think, before they had vanity plates, a call sign plate was pretty obvious. Now I am not sure there is even a need.
I used to love getting on 10-meters and talking to my friend in Minneapolis, full quieting on 25 watts. Then the signal would fade. Fun times for a kid.
I read a post above about a vintage AM station, I could get into that.
