Those of us who were licensed way back in the CW days will remember if you were driving down the road and another ham noticed your callsign license plate or a ham antenna on your vehicle, or you noticed another ham, we would honk "CQ" on the horn. Most times the other ham would answer with something on the horn or wave.
I noted the other day that I never hear than anymore to which one guy responded "We're still doing it but we're using FT8, that's why you don't hear it !!!!!!!!"
