KB3KAQ observed:
"from listening, 75/80 is a place to be avoided at all costs. "
For a newcomer, this is a very astute observation. I think many OT's, like
myself, would certainly agree.
In all seriousness, 75 (the SSB portion) has always been rated PG - or worse.
It is a hostile environment, but it's part of the full spectrum of behaviors we
see in ham radio, that parallels society.
In contrast, bands like 15m and 10m seem placid.
