<---Yep, that was me. My old call was WA6EMV (oh no, not him!!). Back in those days, I was the typical know-it-all kid, as opposed to now being a snotty know-it-all middle aged guy! My old system was originally WR6AKB and then (of course), it became WA6EMV. We were one of the very first to be coordinated on a VHF "splinter" channel in SoCal - 146.745/.145, which is where we ended up after first being coordinated on 147.69/.39, which caused the conflict with the GR0NK guys. Man, I remember them programming up a CW IDer that sent the following as part of our "war": - . . . - - . - . - . - . - - . . . - . . (the above is exactly what their ID sent. If you look at it in a mirror, it would say "F*** EMV". I always thought that was very clever on their part! :-) I finally had enough of 2 meter repeaters and moved to UHF (443.325 I *think*) and have stayed on UHF ever since. Anyway, there's the sordid story!
