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.

I was there, sometimes with, and sometimes without, carrier. I enjoyed 75
meters, and didn't mind the QRM - It was just part of the ham game. It was a
good band to connect up with friends and acquaintances. AM is much more
sociable than SSB just because you can recognize a voice without careful
tuning.

It was rare back then to encounter a foul-mouth.
