Got yer ears on good buddy?


I predict that eventually what are now the ham radio SSB bands will slowly
transform themselves in to a 70s version of CB radio.  I've already seen
plenty of examples of this happening already.  

I'm hoping that some of current ham population will realize the only place
to a real ham is on CW.  

Well I can dream anyway.

Catch ya on the flip side.

10-4
