That is what RIT is for, but these refugees from the cb band
don't know how to use it. They would really be hacked if they
had to operate in the days when Novices were required to be
crystal controlled. You called CQ on your crystal frequency then
had to tune the band with your receiver to listen for another
Novice, who more than likely had a different crystal frequency,
giving you a call. Too many modern day jap appliance operators
are wimps when it comes to operating, they know how to turn on
the rig, read their fancy digital readout and that is the height
of their technical skills.


Looks like 'JJ' has it right. He hit it right on the head. What Phil needs
to do is take the boatanchors to the AM group. THey at least know how to
tune a fella in. 3880/3885, 7190/95, 7160. 14280 or so. 28.1 and up.

Enjoy.
