Well said, John.
I'm not terribly active on AM, though I've enjoyed it several times on 10
m. and I enjoy old equipment. I fired up my Dad's (W5JHJ) Globe Champ on 40
m late one afternoon and he enjoyed seeing the old rig work its magic again.
As for 75 m: yep, it's a bad barrel. I find most of what I hear on the
phone portion of the band shameful. That's why I usually work only CW. It's
much harder for the misanthropes to be rude on CW (and the other digital
modes). One of the exceptions is AM: I'm impressed with what I hear there.

Amateur radio operators are all supposed to be gentlemen (and ladies) and

these
folks should do some soul searching and learn to "get along."
As Riley has said many times, the world is out there listening to everything
we say and do. Bad operating can and will eventually lead to loss of
frequencies, privileges and support. If you don't believe that, look at
the support we
are getting from the FCC on the BPL issue???
Happy Holidays, 73, and think about that New Year's resolution.
