Care to quote the rule that states 20m is only for dxing, and not for
general communications?

More importantly, is it okay to use 20 meters for Drunken DX'ing?

only on 14313 :-)

20 meters is the hangout for the 11 meter types who happen to have valid
amateur licenses. 14.313 has been a favorite haunt of theirs. In fact, I
shouldn't put down CBers by even comparing some (not a lot, but some) 20
meter operators to 11 meter operators.

Can't help but remember calling from the US Naval Hospital (KG6NAC) with
phone patch traffic - the frequency was clear and I had checked - and some
idiot from Hawaii told me to take my phone patch traffic elsewhere as there
was an important DX contest going on. Yep, you youngsters go get shot up in
Vietnam and leave me and my DX alone.

So much for amateur "service". Maybe Len is correct in some of his
observations. Unfortunately, there were a couple of patients, a doctor, and
a nurse present to hear that idiot. I did offer to give him the phone
number as I wanted to tell him what I thought of him but didn't want to say
it over the air as I didn't want to loose my license. He didn't take me up
on it

About the only thing that has no limits is stupidity.

That's what happens when testing standards are lowered. Dunks and retards
can get licensed. Thank you ARRL! NOT.

ARRL has no direct control over testing standards.

Don't you just hate it when someone spoils your rant/bash with a fact?

Vince,

We've always had a few brain dead. W2OY (not the current holder, the guy
back in the 60s) comes to mind. A good theory test won't filter 'em out
(nor a cw test either). Unfortunately, there are no mental exams required
to obtain a license

I wish I was running on 160 again. I've never witnessed poor operation on
the top band. It seems the quantity of lids is proportional to the
propogation.

Drunks and retards were getting licensed long before any standards were
changed.
