I have been listening in to 40 and 80 meters i see no diiference then 11
meter nets. These guys swearing more then 11 meters hell one guy didnt
catch his call was using an echo master with roger beep tones on his
Icom..What a bunch of clowns..These nets wouldnt let some others in who
were calling saying they were weak and didnt belong with the big boys..
It's amazin thousand of dollars for equipment and they sound and act
worse then many cbers..

I've definitly heard some jerks on 75 meters, but 40 meters is a
fairly well behaved bunch of guys. Most of the jerks I've heard on 75
meters were former CB'ers though. Sad but true.

80, yes, 75 no. 75 meters, to me, implies the bottom end of the band where
ssb and am cannot legally go. The cw folks are a great bunch and I've never
heard a problem there.
