[Elecraft] K3 - Roger beep

[Sandy W5TVW]

Over here on this side of the big pond, it's considered rather crass. 
Rather like noisily "breaking wind" at church in the middle of the prayer. 
This caused by the shenanigans by "CB" operators on the 27 Mhz. band.  Sadly 
duplicated by "newbie" amateur operators on 2 meter FM band frequently. 
Generally considered rude operating practices.

No "ill will" meant to you guys in UK.

73,
Sandy W5TVW
