Eddy,

I agree.  When I first heard that garbage on the band I couldn't believe the operators were getting away with it.   I don't know why those people want to talk that way on the air  Since I don't have an HF antenna capable of 80m (only have a Mosely 4 band vertical - 40/20/15/10 - ground mounted on my small lot), I don't listen there very often. It frustrates me because I can't operate what I can hear. 

 I'm going to rebuild a Cushcraft R7000 (with optional 80m kit) this summer (it got smoked by lightning and I got it gratis) and get on 80/75.  I've got the vintage equipment to get on there as well - a restored DX-100 with a D-104 and one of my vintage receivers that currently need restoring.  I've got a National NC-300, a Hallicrafters SX-101A Mk III, a National HRO-5 (only have the 40m coil set), and a Hammarlund HQ-120.  I'm leaning towards restoring the NC-300, because everyone always talks about how it's one of the best for AM work.  I've had no personal experience with one, however.  If I run into problems, I may be asking some questions here.  Restoration looks fairly straight-forward, though.  

73,

Hi Alex,

...And one certainly does NOT have to venture too far away from the 11-meter
band to find NO END of imbeciles engaged in some pretty idiotic
behaviour...select portions of 75-meters certainly spring immediately to
mind in that regard!

My use of a CB back before I got my ticket was one of the things that made
me want to be an amateur operator. Legitimate use of the Citizen's Band
definitely has its place.
