Hello All,

I though you all might get a kick out of this. This is a static page on my blog...

===Cut===
- Stateside stations asking for SASEs for paper QSL cards: It is a pet peeve of mine to see stateside hams insisting on you paying for their hobby even though they have this expensive ham radio equipment on their desk but they won't spring for a fourty-nine cent stamp. I figure that if you're going to have paper QSL cards, you should be prepared to spend the few cents to send it off in the States. DX stations, however, are different and I can understand that their country's postal service postage isn't cheap like here in the States. I'll happily confirm a DX QSO with LotW for DXCC if a paper QSL card isn't possible.

- Using the term "73" incorrectly: "73" means "best regards". Using "very 73" is fine. Using "73s" is not. You don't say "best regardses", do you? So you shouldn't use "73s". There is also "best 73s". "Best best regardses" doesn't make any sense . . . but you should.

- Using "Q codes" or "10 codes" on a VHF/UHF repeater: As with the above "73", you don't go around saying to your boss, "I gotta get to the home QTH to go 10-100!" "Q codes" are acceptable on HF with SSB and CW (with the possibility of computer digital modes but that's another story), but when using nearly crystal-clear FM, you can use proper English and speak like a functioning human being.

- Saying "for ID" when using your callsign on a repeater: For God's sake, people, your callsign IS your ID! Just giving your callsign identifies yourself. When you say "for ID", you sound like an idiot. Please, only your callsign. You don't hear the repeater add "for ID" after it identifies itself, do you?

- Using only the suffix of your callsign to identify yourself while working a DX pileup: That's not only really impolite, it's illegal in the US. Many a ham in the US really should read the DX Code of Conduct and live by it.

- Using an amplifier to make a short-distance contact: The US rules state that an amateur radio operator should use the minimum power necessary to maintain a contact. Sometimes, I wonder if these guys are making up for other shortcomings in their life by doing this.

I wasn't long enough on CB to learn the 10-codes.

I learned some of it because my uncle was a truck driver and, when I was
young, there were a lot of pop culture references in the US about truckers (a hit TV show about a trucker and his pet monkey, a hit song about a truck convoy, etc.). I do not remember much of it now, except that:

10-4 is over and out
10-20 is location (as in "what is your 10-20"?)

IIRC some of the other lingo I learned:

chicken coop - a highway rest area
bears - the police (and maybe more specifically, the state highway patrol)

That is about it. :)

- Using the term "73" incorrectly: "73" means "best regards". Using
"very 73" is fine. Using "73s" is not. You don't say "best
regardses", do you? So you shouldn't use "73s". There is also "best 73s". "Best best regardses" doesn't make any sense . . . but you
should.

I'll admit I intentionally did this once when I knew a guy was
listening that didn't like it. :-)

There's a local HAM that says "Roger Roger" pretty often, like someone
saying "um" or "y'know" or any other verbal tic. He means nothing by
it, it's just his way of acknowledgement before continuing on to his
next statement.

Well, he was on the air one night as I was driving home and apparently
there were others than me listening in as he was talking to another
local. Well after they stopped the other one sounded VERY agitated and proceeded to tell the 'non offender' that people should learn proper
HAM speak and that there's no need to say "yes yes" and that it's 73,
not multiple. The other guy had a smile in his voice and let the guy
vent. Then I popped in and very quickly said, "been listening Danny
and just wanted to say hello to you before I got home." He came back
to me and said something cordial to which I replied - "Roger Roger -
I'm pulling in the drive - 73's to you" and signed off. The 'old guy' IMMEDIATELY chimed in with a 'young whipersnapper' comment and
Danny was obviously having to fight the urge to laugh out loud. Of
course he knew I was just having fun. :-)

- Using "Q codes" or "10 codes" on a VHF/UHF repeater: As with the
above "73", you don't go around saying to your boss, "I gotta get to

and CW (with the possibility of computer digital modes but that's
another story), but when using nearly crystal-clear FM, you can use
proper English and speak like a functioning human being.

LOL - yeah every now and again I'll hear some repeater talk where someone mentions getting a QSO. Doesn't bother me, but I notice it.

- Saying "for ID" when using your callsign on a repeater: For God's
sake, people, your callsign IS your ID! Just giving your callsign identifies yourself. When you say "for ID", you sound like an idiot. Please, only your callsign. You don't hear the repeater add "for ID" after it identifies itself, do you?

The only time I've heard this myself is when the repeater gives it's
callsign after 10 minutes and it's kind of a reminder that if you've
been talking a while it's a smart thing to stay legal and give your
sign. If one says "for ID" it will prompt and teach the other person
the reason you're doing it. Yes, they should know, but if you're
talking while driving home from work it's easy to lose track of time
and if you happen to stay keyed up while the repeater does its thing
then you might miss it completely. Hearing the other person do it
and WHY is a good reminder.

- Using an amplifier to make a short-distance contact: The US rules
state that an amateur radio operator should use the minimum power necessary to maintain a contact. Sometimes, I wonder if these guys are making up for other shortcomings in their life by doing this.

LOL - I admit I don't always think to power down my 50watt mobile rig,
but I might be talking to a repeater 60 miles away, and I'm always
scanning repeaters as far as 100 miles away. Yes, I know I don't need
the power to 'listen.' I also don't think my 50w mobile is what you're referring to either. ;-)

Hello Daryl,

Hi, Sean...

Yes. I may sound curmudgeonly but good God that gets me going, especially t SD>"73s" and "for ID" crap.

I just say "Seven Three"...and for the ID, it's just my callsign, or
"This is [callsign]"...that's enough. "For ID" is redundant...just like
from the Associated Press Reporters Style Book -- the term "funeral
service" is redundant. :P

Yeah, I've heard/read some codes but I really don't know the meaning of

I had a Pearce Simpson installed in my delivery/service car and a

Jimmy,

There's a local HAM that says "Roger Roger" pretty often, like someone JA>saying "um" or "y'know" or any other verbal tic. He means nothing by
it, it's just his way of acknowledgement before continuing on to his
next statement.

If you get into a net who has one or more hams named "Roger", and if
one ham says "Roger", the actual "Roger" may say "You called??" <G>. As
a note, N0RSR, Roger, from Casa Grande, Arizona, along with his XYL,
Trish (I forget her callsign offhand), check into the D-Star Trains Net
every so often. That net, plus the Food Net, and the QCWA D-Star Net,
are all moving from Reflector 26 to the QuadNet Array this month. There
was a story in the May 3, 2019 edition of Amateur Radio Newsline, on
this.

LOL - yeah every now and again I'll hear some repeater talk where someone JA>mentions getting a QSO. Doesn't bother me, but I notice it.

I tell hams to not use 10 codes, and to save the Q-signals for the
digital modes. I do have a ham radio humor file of "The Missing Q
Signals", but some are not appropriate for ham radio <G>.

The only time I've heard this myself is when the repeater gives it's JA>callsign after 10 minutes and it's kind of a reminder that if you've
been talking a while it's a smart thing to stay legal and give your

and if you happen to stay keyed up while the repeater does its thing
then you might miss it completely. Hearing the other person do it
and WHY is a good reminder.

I use the "clock method". I identify at the top of the hour, then at
10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 after the hour. Then, I don't have to worry
whether or not it has been 10 minutes.

LOL - I admit I don't always think to power down my 50watt mobile rig, JA>but I might be talking to a repeater 60 miles away, and I'm always JA>scanning repeaters as far as 100 miles away. Yes, I know I don't need

I always thought 10-4 is simply "yes" or "acknowledge."

I thought 'over and out' was something different... 10-7 ?

We also used to say "Home 20" for when we were at home
as the location.

Okay - had to google this one - 10-36 for "what's the
correct time."

Those 10 codes were originally used by law enforcement.

That doesn't happen here. Of course we have the language barrier and
since I have never had CB as hobby I don't know if they use those.

3) The Complaint Department -- you see a welcome screen, and when you

4) Plinko. If you hit LOSE, EXIT, or run out of chips, you're logged
off.

Some of the other "Logoff Doors" have a G)oodbye option in them, to
