I've never found any problem on 75 meters.
BTW, 75 meters implies something other than 80 meters. Ever. I doubt any licensed amateur would care to use any echo as it simply degrades your intelligibility. Except on broadcast audio AM..oh yea,,and FM. I'm no fan of echo when it is used for a total repeat, but ask -any- broadcast engineer that worked in commercial radio about a tinge of echo. There is a reason many of those obnoxious car ads and others use echo in their commercials. It not only grabs your attention, it demands it and is usually louder than the regular programming, as is the majority of commercials. But echo is used in ads because its characteristics work much better than non-echo on AM and FM. When the effectiveness of echo is no longer effective in advertsing on commercial radio, we will all cease to hear it. Big bucks advertisers don't repeatedly spend money on ads that don't work. I've run across a few lids, but *very* few. None on 75 or 160. 73 from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA Some of those lids save their "lidness" for their cb antics and some are so scared to talk on CB anymore that all they do is deadkey. I hear (CW) keyers on CB quite often. Well, not just CB, but the freeband more than CB. Those keyers sure as hell aren't owned by the CB crowd. You are right, though. Less on 160 than 2. None on 75? We have this little town called LARGhettO in mid county. When you gonna visit your folks? I wanna show you around my RF stomping grounds |

Jim: Good advice, the new CB'ers should become acquainted with freq charts and use of the proper modes (protocols) on the various ranges of freqs (bands): http://www.handiham.org/freqchar.htm John _ Saying CB'ers should become familiar with hammie bands is about as sensible as saying all hammies should become familiar with the Freebands. If a CB'er is interested in hammie radio, he will seek out hammie band information, but if a CB'er (no matter how "new" he/she is) is not interested in playing hammie radio, there is no reason for them to learn anything of the sort. |

It did even back in the 60s. Been there, took care of those problems LOL. What have you been up to? Strange signals from Saturn? See my post I just sent to the group. How many KWs are ya runnin? With that coliniar array plus the salt water, you must be doing good to affect Saturn :)) All kidding aside, I wish folks could set aside their prejudices and understand that we are all radio enthusiasts (read: *nuts* LOL). Of course, the intentional jammers none of us need. 73 from Rochester, NY Jim |

For what it is worth, I started in ham radio (1962), had a ball with cb radio (1970/71) and am still active in ham radio .... What is silly is to throw darts at each other. There are good and bad in both groups. To think otherwise is a rather bit shortsighted. 73 from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA _ Which brings us to the fact that many good hammies cb on regular basis. |
