Why yes, yes I do chat with them. And, in the central valley, ch 17 is
in vogue, stupid-ass.

If it's in such vogue, why would they want to go on the ham bands? Better yet,
why would they spend the couple hundred dollars on a HF rig? Duh.

And, although I have chatted with them on their modified 10m ham equip.
many DO USE FROM THEIR HOMES OR DISPATCHERS USE, I most often chat 'em
on the road to pass the time. Chat up a lot of hookers too!

Bull****. Most of them are done with CB at the end of the day. I drive about
50,000 miles per year in my car, and speak to them quite often. I am not park on
the couch during the day, like you are. Your a ****ing liar.

How many of your high powered linears are already ready for the
10-12-15-17-20+ meter bands?

Think there will be a big influx of truckers to the ham bands, or will
they stay put? According to some hams, there is so much hero worship of
them, you chicken banders are just watering at the mouth to get on
amateur HF's. What do you say?

Dunno, John

All I know is that when I had a problem in the 60s with a high powered am
guy that jumped on my qso, I changed to cw. We contined our chat for a good
45 minutes and couldn't even hear that kilowatt station. Nothing like a
small bandwidth and filters to go along with it. That doesn't mean that the
high power stations can't communicate; it means that they are very unlikely
to bother a couple of cw stations, regardless of power. And the voice is
not spread evenly. You can give a 50 to 1 power advantage away very easily.
Even more, if the cw stations have the proper filtering.

At 40 - 50 words per minute, we weren't giving away much in terms of
communications either LOL

Interesting thing is that cw is legal anywhere in the ham bands ....


73 from Rochester, NY

ps -75 watts buried the guy with the kilowatt plus rig.
Go figure. 200 Hz bandwidth vs 3 KHz. He lost more than a 10 to 1
advantage. Old Mike (W2OY) sure was upset LOL

Hey Jim, you really need to give 1750M a shot. You'd love it!

Years ago I used to do 1750. Just before I gave away my equipment I took it
out and loaded up an old AM broadcast antenna that was off the air. That was
fun until the mall security came by and asked what I was doing..

Most of the hams using linears use these types.

the ham bands, or will they stay put?


A fair number already made the switch.

According to some hams, there is so much

hero worship of them, you chicken banders

It is true, plenty of worship from shamed hams (forced into internet
anonymity) toward proud cb'ers who are also hams. Lids always lose.
