I would be surprised if SC even knows code, more surprised if he even had a
rig up and running. After all, why would someone that can do 20+wpm spend there time here flameing everyone? Besides, none of the Hams I know would never insult anyone new to ham radio. And they would not cross post like this...... Joe CW is not a true ham, he has no idea what being a ham means... Just curious Anyone know what his call is? |

Even if I wasn't the truck drivers know the road since they drive it every day where as very few hams do so. I generally see 100-200 CB equipped trucks and cars for each ham equipped truck/car. You tell me which service is better for road conditions? Dave WD9BDZ |

Of course, with all the no-codes and nickle amateurs on ham radio these days the road reports aren't as good as they used to be. SC |
