My only foray into SSB is SSB sweeps (nostalgia). After that weekend I put the mic away for another year. That is all the SSB I can take for the year. There are a few foul fist on CW but the wife and grandkids can't copy it so I can safely leave the radio on speaker (until the wife tells me to "turn that noise off" ;o( ). You would think after 50 + years she would have learned to love it.

First thing to do is get on CW. 30M is a fine place to start. I've been CW (only) since 1951 and primarily on 40M. Voice modes only require money and a mouth. Jackasses usually need an audience, and aren't likely to misbehave w/o one. 73 K0PP On Oct 29, 2017 12:54, "Bob McGraw K4TAX" <[email protected]> wrote: I just avoid 20M. Problem solved. There's other bands which respond as well with fine gentlemen operators, 17M and 30M as examples. If you've not tried 60M, it is a wonderful relief from the vocabulary found on 40M. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 10/29/2017 1:47 PM, Bill Johnson wrote: > The ownership issue is what almost caused me to sell all my equipment. > But then diversity from my K3S struck the phenomenal chord and I > cannot believe how much fun it is.
