We have a local em-comm net on 75m every other week, so it isn’t all yahoos.
And the lids don’t stay on 75m or on voice. I was chasing an NPOTA activation (Fort Laramie) on 20m Saturday. Impressive SSB pileup, then someone shows up with a very loud CW call on top of us. I think the activator could copy a few callers through it, but they were not readable by me under the CW QRM. Sad. The activator (WR8O) was patient and gracious. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Feb 14, 2016, at 11:09 AM, Phil Hystad <[email protected]> wrote: > > I agree with these 75 meters comments.
