Just to let you know. I'm the culprit that started this.....by calling CQ on 3737--a frequency I picked that night entirely at random. And I'm not a regular in the 75mtr ghetto either. Mostly on 40m. Really think that using this particular post to make your argument is a stretch. And the attributions don't help. I didn't hear any of the inappropriate behavior that you mention as typical of the ghetto (which in all fairness I have heard there on occasion). Wouldn't have tolerated it if I had. I seem to recall these type of running round tables being nothing new--recall eavesdropping on many just like them as a pre-teen SWL....back when AM was king. Was fun and easy on my trusty S-40B. Enjoy your webpage--especially the pic of the old buzzards.....many of whom would have been in hanging around in these types of qso's themselves way back when. Otherwise, keep up the good work!
