Keeping It Good Natured

So I've been a little bored lately and decided to log in to the qrz forums and see what they are crying about today. Well much to my surprise I found a statement from someone, doesn't matter who, that was complaining that certain ham bands were getting as bad as cb with people cussing each other out, etc.

Will someone please tell me what these ham bands are that this gentleman described? I would love to go check them out and perhaps give someone a thorough cussing followed by my callsign as is required. If necessary I would even be willing to upgrade my class of license just to partake in this fun.

Thank you in advance.

75 meters, dude...

Get your ticket and GET there.

Spreading hate and discontent all the doo-dah day.
 
luckily I sharpened my pencil long before hitting the submit button!


wait...it appears that to fully take advantage of the 80 meter band I would need to hone up my cw skills

I look forward to cussing someone out in morse code...followed by my callsign of course.

Nah, just go to the "phone" portion of 80, which many refer to as "75" Hilarity shall ensue
 
Cussing folks out on 80 in morse = you ARE really too bored.

Voice on 75 is where the kiddie crap is. And it didn't start this week. Been like that for 20 years or more.

75 is mostly ex-CBer's who now have a license once again to CB plus big radios and legal limit amplifiers (or more) to CB around with. Oh happy day.


oh, and I guess we should include 14.275 while we're at it.


Questio nfor you GLR, noticing your pic of Ron Paul. Is he and Ross Perot brothers?
 
Just my 2 cents... I'm not an Avid listener on 75/80 but from what I have listened over the years its not much different now then it was 20+ years ago.... Always has been, always will be idiots on the radio, they come, they go, but they are always there....
 
Yeppers on the 75/80m Romper Room.:lol: I've always used those guys as a counter argument when some of the "purists" whine:crying: about how things are on 11m and the degradation of the hobby created when "No code" was established :bdh: and those "CB" ops come over to the Amateur Bands.:bdh::headbang The degradation started a looooong time before "No code" became part of the equation. They hate it with a passion when this argument is brought up because they know the truth and validity of it.:tt2:;)

When I encounter the idiots I do like many others and turn the dial.:whistle:

Enjoy the Hobby Guys!

75 Meters! Get your ham ticket and jump on board with the rest of them. It's a free for all! This will want to make you get your license!!!!!!! You'll never get bored. It's a ham radio CB band! Here are a couple hot ones. Try 3910, 3898 and other frequencies around there. It's a free for all. You'll have more fun cussing down there than on the 11 meter CB band. . You can play music, use your EQ's and high end mic's and play the tuba, horn, trumpet, ect. ect or anything you do on 11 meters. It's a long distance Ham radio CB band! Check this out.......you don't even need an amp and they will hear you. Good ole mother nature and propagation. I do a lot of listening and it makes good entertainment along with a beer. Here's a good one. If you do get caught it's a nice slap on the wrist. Check out the FCC data base. They use the excuse that they were under the influence of drugs or alcohol and say they "can't remember" saying it so the FCC slaps them on the wrist. The FCC has lost a lot of steam since the early days of Cb radio. 11 meter propagation sucks so why not get your ticket on the 75 meter CB band? That's where all your old CB friends have migrated too that you haven't heard for decades.......75 meters. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
