In looking back at old ham publications from the early 60's, as well as
license guides with operating techniques explained, I have seen the reference to "handle" as appropriate terminology, well before the CB influx. The resistance to the use became evident (at least around here), when 2M got populated by herds of former cb'ers, and I'm not talking no code, I'm talking 1970-80 era, who did everything they could to distance themselves from "Chicken Band" and pretend that they were never there. For a while, the "name" was used on VHF, while oldtimers on HF, especially CW, would refer to "handles". It has since died away. And if 73 causes such consternation, imaging what someone who wished you 88's would bring!! |
