This is true. They don't even use 10 meters much.

BOY! How much you THINK you know! It gets used
a LOT! And some of it is in a "language" you are unlikely to
understand----you know, them pesky "dots and dashes" in addition to SSB,
AM and FM.

Are you kidding me, Jerry? You spen all of your time listening
for trucker's on 10.

Again, it STILL shows how much you know about 10 meters. There are lots of
operators that have regular QSOs on 10 whether the "skip" is runnning or
not. Many groups gather on various frequencies for nightly chats. These
chat groups do so at ranges of 5-50 miles--sometimes more. We are NOT
always looking from
truckers. They are not supposed to be there anyhow.
But you can be sure of one thing: sources tell me that
there are more of them fixin' to get a "surprise". LOL!

Sounds like 11 meters.

Yeah, right. I haven't heard lingo like that on any ham bands, even
since restructuring
happened......

CQ no kids, lids or space cadets......

Okay.... I'll take a stab at this one...... Who the hell said it's required
to be long distance to be useful??

I know personally of some people around here in the Lower Peninsula who on a
regular basis communicate on 10 meters and one is near Midland and the other
is near Traverse City. And yes, these are pcta extra class licensee's.
Guesstimation of around 50-75 miles with 100-200 watts.......

It's not necessarily the quantity of the QSO, as much as the QUALITY of the
QSO in my book. If I can have a really enjoyable conversation with someone,
even to the level of earning the ragchew award, and to where I learn about
that person and their likes, dislikes, hobbies and interests and so on, that
to me is the most rewarding conversation.

This is true. They don't even use 10 meters much.

10 meters is quite dependent on the status of the sunspot cycle. When the
solar flux is good, the band is indeed heavily used but when the flux is
down, it won't support long distance communications.

Check out 14.313 USB just about any weekend during daylight hours.

The *original* w2-y has been dead for over 36 Years.

Amazing how things NEVER EVER EVER change
on ham radio. Even their brand of "humor" is just as lame and
pathetic as it was 3 Decades ago.

The only REAL spark of potential inspiration to happen to ham radio was the
late
WA4D. (SK) Now there was a Ham Radio Messiah if there
ever was one !!!!! Of course, just like the other guy, he was
nailed to a tree by the bluebloods and stinky cheeses at
the ARRL, the Sanhedrin of Ham Radio. I count myself as very fortunate
having worked
ole Mike WA4D before he passed on. I even have one of his VERY
COLLECTABLE signed and autographed QSL Cards.
The famous QSL where he was standing outside the Laurel Md
FCC Monitoring station with a flag in hand and a ****-eating
grin on his face. That card is on my radio room wall in a brass and glass
picture frame with a light over it. It's right alongside my autographed
8 by 10 Photo of Bill and Hillary which I rcvd at a luncheon I was
invited to.

Is this World f-cked up or what??

Okay, this sounds like a interesting story. Do elaborate please!

One day 3 weeks ago, I listened from 28.000 - 28.150, and
I counted over a dozen of 'em. Truckers in particular have been
"using" our ten - meter band illegally, and Riley Hollingsworth
has been doing something about it. Make no mistake, this is
happening.

Right now (nov 20 20:50 zulu) on 28.085 I hear CB like comms (AM).
Sounds as
crowded as a regular legal CB channel. None of it really copyable, with
all the
power mics and ratchet-jaw lingo. QTH in NNJ, nothing over S3.
