Default QUESTION: When Did The Term "PERSONAL" Come Into Being a Ham Radio Term???

Several of these converts used CB 10 codes, passed the good numbers, pedal to the metal, etc


Don't forget "keep the shiny side up" which I never did figure out,
hi!

Old timers shudder


All we can do is try and educate them. Eventually, they get the idea
when no one talks to them.

Handle here is Lamont (;-)


I remember an Old Timer who was a bit of a prangster, when asked
for his "handle" by a new Ham, he said "Chrome", as the "handle" of
his
radio was....you guessed it, chromed

He would lead the new guy on for hours without giving out his name.

Ah, memories......
