This doesn't really pertain to A.E. members, just radio operators in

would operated on channels 30 and BELOW, and us SSB operators would run
channels 31 and ABOVE and things worked out great for all ops. Too bad
this 'agreement' has gone out the window these days!

Around here we have commercial trucking firms operated by Mexicans that
use whatever channel someone selects when they leave the yard.

...and the truckers are usually running right behind each other with their
squelch turned way up so forget about asking them nicely to move..
