Well guys I was going to stay out of this QSO but now I
need to
reply...I have many times been on 3.870 SSB with
Murry...Johnny and a
lot of the Texas SSB group when all of a sudden here comes
the West
Coast Guys on AM and we had been on SSB for hours
before... I blaim it
on band conditions but then the yelling match comes from
all concerned.
Me I just sign and go away...My pennies worth Hi

There is a very strange phenomenon called time zones. Which
begs the question: "When someone in the middle of the
country knows that a particular frequency is used by a band
of AM operators at a particular time, why can't they QSY to
allow the West Coast bunch to operate? They know they are
coming" Same for the East Coast. Guys there usually get on
an hour before the middle of the U.S.
It would be mighty friendly if the West Coast bunch could be
accommodated by Murry and his band of merry men. But then
you say, Why can't the West Coast bunch choose another
frequency? For the same reason that Murry and the group
won't, they might interfere with another group in the
General portion, which is where most want to operate to
maximize the number of stations that can participate.
This kind of thing leads to groups like the ones with signs
at the Belton hamfest, 3.835 Group, 3.922 Group. The 3.922
group even has a flag with that frequency on it. Kind of
makes one believe they own that frequency and since they
purchased a flag, they aren't gonna move even with dynamite.
What is the answer, what is the answer?
