[AMRadio] You Might be a Phony Operator if...

[D. Chester]

You think a Johnson Kilowatt Matchbox is a "2.4 KW Tuner"

You refer to one's name as the "first personal" or just "personal".

You end a QSO with "Seventy-Thirds" or "Threes".

You try to enter an ongoing QSO by yelling "Contact".

You finish an AM transmission in a QSO that is NOT operating fast break-in, 
and just drop the carrier with no prior warning like a callsign, saying 
"over", "back to you", "go ahead", etc., leaving the other operator(s) 
wondering if you lost power or your rig crapped out.

You pronounce QRZ.com as "CUE ARE ZEE dot com".

You tell someone with a strapping signal he is "wall to wall, treetop tall".

You call operating AM "Going to the AM side".

You insert "there" between every two or three words in your conversation.

You call the phone bands the "SSB bands".

You think the ideal horizontal antenna is the G5RV, and the ideal 160m 
vertical is 43 ft. tall.



Depending on your knowledge, experience and attitude as an amateur operator, 
what others can you think of?
