[Lowfer] Bad operating practices/XFX update

You don't want to hear what they have to say on 80 meters. It is usually a
bunch of BS and cussing and swearing about the guy above or below them
splattering all over the band. Nothing new for that band.

Hi, Dex,

> Sounds to me like you stumbled into an all lid group discussion.

Evidently.  I'm not real sure what they were getting at.  I know the code
solidly now, but my speed is only up to about 8wpm or so (I'm taking the
exam to upgrade to General Class in about two weeks - changing my call,
re-IDing my beacons ...) and so I'm not yet quite able to copy most of
what I hear on 40 and 80m -- most of it is a little too quick for me yet.

As I'm able to copy more of what I hear, maybe I'll catch on to why they
have some of the complaints that they do.

In the meantime, I'm staying away from that website.  Simply depressing.
