Niccceee!
It really is getting bad though like Pete says. More than once this weekend I
was able to beat the big guns with my vertical and 500w ( until the brand new
al-80b quit, then I beat them low power) by listening ( what a concept) and
timing the call or by adjusting off freq by 100 hz.
Basic operating skills have been/are being lost...most likely do (in my
opinion) to all of the assisted tools out there. Point, click, call. It's that
simple right??? No need to LISTEN.
