[AMRadio] Just an evil thought round tables

Gosh... From my earliest S WL days all I remember was a.m. was conducted in roundtables and CW was used for one-on-one contacts.

Then SSB came along later and provided more one-on-one contacts for voice operations.  I guess I am just not a modern guy. Not that I have anything against a regular one-on-one a.m. contact either.

If it gets above three in a group I just leave and go somewhere else.   I have heard round tables at the high end of 75 that must have ten or more, how do you take notes and sort that out? By the time it gets around the group the topic has changed so much that any notes taken early are no longer relevant.  I have heard  some break in stations that could only hear one party! what do you expect that person to do, relay all the comments??  Guess that is a good reason to stay on the higher freq bands, longer skip sorts out some of that.   Bernie W8RPW
