[Elecraft] Freq Ownership

[Joe K2UF]

My only foray into SSB is SSB sweeps (nostalgia).  After that weekend I put
the mic away for another year.  That is all the SSB I can take for the year.
There are a few foul fist on CW but the wife and grandkids can't copy it so
I can safely leave the radio on speaker (until the wife tells me to "turn
that noise off" ;o(  ).  You would think after 50 + years she would have
learned to love it.

73,

  Joe K2UF

This behavior has been going on as long as SSTV ... and 75M phone.

First thing to do is get on CW.  30M is a fine place to start.  I've been CW
(only) since 1951 and primarily on 40M.

Voice modes only require money and a mouth.  Jackasses usually need an
audience, and aren't likely to misbehave w/o one.

I just avoid 20M.  Problem solved.  There's other bands which respond as
well with fine gentlemen operators, 17M and 30M as examples.  If you've not
tried 60M, it is a wonderful relief from the vocabulary found on 40M.
