I certainly agree with you! I've been away from 11m for a few years,
but often listened to shortwave (75m), and you've summed it up
perfectly. I figure, the populus goes where the conditions (skip) allow
the best, and thus, you get the ultimate sampling of the personality of
most people out there. I grew up on walkie talkies, and then my first
CB radio in the mid 1960's, so at least I got to experience a time when
communications were decent!

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.

I've never found any problem on 75 meters. BTW, 75 meters implies something
other than 80 meters. Ever. I doubt any licensed amateur would care to use
any echo as it simply degrades your intelligibility. I've run across a few
lids, but *very* few. None on 75 or 160.

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.

Odds are most of the hammies on hammie radio today are former cb'ers.
Nothing sad about it. If it wasn't for cb, hammie radio would be dead.
CB is where the hammie radio participants originate.
