On ssb, I hear them whining about other ops being 100 cycles off their
frequency, complaining about AM, talking about their medical problems, and
idle gossip. On AM, I hear guys talking about building or modifying radios.
A different breed on both modes.

I have not heard a phone QSO in a long time. All I have heard in the past
two years is the contest activity. And I don't consider those QSOs.
With the current lack of homebuilding what do phone operators talk about?

I dont operate it either, I have nothing to talk about on ssb.
I never homebrewed any gear for ssb.
I also find it anoying to listen to mostly, although the new icom makes
it sound quite good.
I learned something tuning around with the rig on ssb, the auto
notch works great, and will follow a jammer/carrier all around and notch
it
out
without hardly any degridation of the received audio.
Not sure what FMing would do, but trying to jam someone on
ssb with a carrier is futile with the new rigs.
Maybe I should listen around on 40 meters weekend mornings
of ssb and see if anyone interesting to talk to is on.
I did rtty a long time ago with a model 15, and a vic20 and microlog air
one
card, never did sstv, hate 2 meters and vhf stuff in general.
Never did digital or sattelite stuff, moon bounce, etc.
I am trying to get back up to speed on CW, and am building a homebrew
tube
type
cw tranciever, that should be fun.
Anyone know where I could get 454 and 456 KHz xtals for my bfo???
