Hi Robert and all...I am one of the guys on 90 in the AM on AM and must totally concur with your findings. I am not proud of what a certain few are doing on 90 but as a whole there are a bunch of good guys on 90. By a certain few there are around 3 out of the whole group that are this way and I as one have tried my darndest to change that with no results. Now is it right to stay away because of 2 or 3 guys...Nooo the more that we get on there and don't talk about these guys problems with others may change there ideas. We can at least hope for that. We have between 30 and 40 guys every Saturday on the Texoma Traders net on 90. There is only one day of the month that one of the violators is NCS. Please guys come help us train these guys.

With the recent poll on the list, I'd like to ask the group something, and I hope I don't ruffle any feathers, as there may be some on this list that are the very ones I am about to reference, but without calls or names. I do hope the moderators of this list do not object to this post. I don't post here often, but do a lot of listening on this list ...and have been an AMer for many years. To preface my question with a little background; I live in Texas and love to operate AM, however I also love to operate some other modes, in particular SSB and CW. Of course I do not operate SSB on any usual AM frequencies. There is a group of AM operators that meet early in the mornings on 3890 in this area, and recently a few of them can be heard every morning really criticizing those of us they know they hear operating SSB elsewhere. Calling us part time CB'ers, and other things. By the way; these are grown men guys. I for one have decided not to join in with them for now , as I know a lot of others have which had been a part of that group for some time. To me, this does not give a very good image to AM in general, nor those SSB ops that may be listening that have considered trying AM. Just simply poor conduct, and pretty disgusting if you listen to this stuff. That's my opinion, but I'd like to see what others have to say about it this sort of ranting they do about us seemingly "traitors". Now my question to the email list is this: If you operate AM, is it a sin to operate any other modes as these guys try to suggest or imply to themselves and listeners each and every morning, over and over? In closing; I know there have been at least two or three of our AM group that have confronted them on the air, or on the phone about this, but they seem to laugh it off and continue to act in this childish way on the air, day in and day out. If you live close enough to the Texas area, please listen up on 3890 to this sometime about 7:00 AM CST. It actually reminds me of the guys on 3892 and 3878 SSB that have nothing else to talk about day to day. If we operate AM, then based on what we are hearing here day to day, we should just quit all other modes entirely and consider them evil. Thanks for any input guys.
