Ridiculously Rude Asshats on 80 M

[Wire Weasel]

I know this is an old sleepy story but still want to vent. Would never try this on QRZ as I would get run straight outta town (side note) - QRZ forums are the worst suck hole in the world. Can't post anything without a swarm of snarkers biting your head off. Really hard to believe they allow the behavior there and it takes a pretty poor picture of the place.
Was on 80 briefly last night to make some contacts for Winter Field Day. WFD's rules .... keeping with most contests, suggests using the lower portion of the band. Generals phone privileges bottom out at 3.800 - So there are these groups of daily ragchewers who park on frequencies like they own them. Twice heard guys come over from a nearby freq. on the very low end, like 3.817 bellyache to WFD contesters "You're in my bandpass can you move further down the band !!??" Another group of ragchwers on 3.803 !! The ragchewers could move UP the band a bit seeing as they can go all the way up to 4.0 leaving plenty of room on the low end above 3.800 for a little bit of contesting to go on.
Well known old story about 80M being the place where the mean sob CB'ers "graduated" too so they can continue to being asshole cb'ers but with more power and better equipment and a callsign. Vent over

Same old story different day. Nothing has changed and never will. Life goes on. Blah....blah....blah.... I wonder who the first person will be now to compare it to CBers and state this is why they never got a ham ticket. Speaking of how things never change.............

I always thought 40 was the pits.

The Azhat drunk hasn't been around on 40 for a couple months,... He even had his amp for sale.

We can only wish he stays on the wagon.

He's back, heard him a couple of days ago.
40 meters is a great band if you catch the right people to ragchew with.
Time of the day or evening makes a difference as to who is on.

If you listen long enough you’ll find idiots everywhere, not limited to 80

Plenty of people with drivers licenses who drive like a-holes. The license doesn’t mean much for helping personality.

I love 40 meters...GREAT DX band at night and evening...good up to 500 mile ragchew band most daylight hours. Go coast to coast at night.
Just IMHO

I think being an ass hat is a mental condition.......

Given what I’ve heard some days on AM-19, everyone else still has a lot of room to fit an ass-hat to size.

Todd the .425 beacon...

Several of us have had " interesting conversations " with Todd.
The result was his getting a lifetime ban from the 10-10 club.
Some people just suck.
Spin the dial .....
