Yeah. I didn't post this as a joke, either. This guy really used
to do it. And, one of the reasons I can't stand HF operation
(other
than the biggest reason being the hiss) is that when we Tech+'s
used to get on and do all the "is this freq in use", etc....all
the
good operating practices we'd been told were going to be
*absolutes* on ham radio--nearly every time there'd be some
General
or higher licensee who'd get on over us and start calling CQ...or
would go just off our freq and begin.

Yep, there were good ones...just as there are good Novices, Techs,
and Tech+'s. But, the bad ones ruin it for everyone.

Well, I don't want to bash 10m as a band but it does seem to attract
some abberant behaviour, and a bit more worldwide than the same that
occurs on 75m and a few selected spots on 20.
Much of the bad behaviour is by CBers faking callsigns - or recent
CB'ers that have become Extras whilst still trying to kick the habit
of being obnoxious.

I'm sure you have some sort of data to back that claim, or no?

All one need to is turn on the HF radio and listen around. There are
crappy CBers too, Morph.

Oh I agree Kim, what I don't agree with is "most" of the bad behavior
is caused by CBer's on HF.

Gotcha! Well, you know broad paintbrushes are the tools of choice today.
The current Administration has made it very popular....
