Yes, I listened to that for a time too. It was cool. Unfortunately,
after
the W1AW op went to supper, the conversation degenerated into a bunch of
guys trying to run everyone else off 75 meters. It was funny for a
while,
until it just became pathetic.

I didn't hear it that way. The guys who filled in between the W1AW break
were
taking breakers and "check-ins". A lot of them knew each other, of
course.
There were a lot of carriers from guys tuning up, and breakers tromping on
each
other, naturally. Some of the double and triple heterodynes were like a
singing commercial for SSB :-)

But I didn't take anything as rude or exclusive. There are of course
plenty of
professional LIDs on 75 who need less testosterone and more medication,
but
they are no way confined to AM. In fact, I feel a lot "safer" running AM
on 75
than SSB.

You should have heard 75 in the late 50, early 60s. That is when you had
wall to wall carriers and assorted hetrodynes from 3.8 to 4.0 every single
night until wee hours of the AM.
