[AMRadio] How far back ?

[Bob Macklin]

Last night I was checking a local 2M SSB net. PITA!

There were not two people on the same frequency. They would say something 
but before you could tune them they were gone and someone else did the same 
thing.

That sort of operation makes one appreciate HF AM or VHF FM.

But later last night I did find two guys talking on 40M SSB and they were 
close enough that no fine tuning was necessary.
