INSTANT ON AND QSO

[n0xas]

I think you should let the repeater owner know the guy was using profanity on the repeater. No call for that. Some people just have no business being on the air.

Of course every responsible ham knows you listen before you talk. You don't just dial up a frequency and start gabbing without checking to see if the freq. and/or repeater is in use first. It's just common courtesy and good practice, and if you do forget or get in a hurry and butt into someone's QSO you apologize, back out and shut the heck up. That's how normal people behave. So don't let some rude, ignorant jerk make you wonder if you're wrong, you're not.

I would have not relinquished my use of the frequency to this troll. We had that problem once about a year here ago on one of the local 2m repeaters. Instead of changing frequency (and probably having him follow), we merely increased our power to where we blanketed his transmissions into the repeater. That is the beauty of FM. We then just carried on our converstations as we always would, ignoring the wannabe jammer. He soon went away. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Dude, was this on the 146.82 Repeater? Or 146.76? Either way, this does not surprise me in the least. Welcome to the jungle bro. My newest rant is the hide-behind-the-microphone mook that jams the 76 repeater now. Just do good and make good I guess.

PS: I heard you last weekend on the 82 machine in a group roundtable but I was pretty ripped. My call was out there though.

Isn't there laws about OUIL. Oh,wait, that's for driving isn't it? http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Dude, sometimes you just have to let go. After a long hard day of listening to complaints, I like to take a good sharp sniff of the Balvenie or even some Southern Comfort. My fave is Soco and ginger ale but it always gives me a bellyache...

Some roundtables REQUIRE the consumption of alcoholic beverages primarily because it is the only that keeps you going when a guy tells you for the 88th time that he is disabled and likes listening to the railroad frequencies!

I rant and rave often. And OUIL happens, dig it!

OUIL? New one on me, but guilty all the same.
It's not like you are going to key up and kill someone, lol.
And, it can add some amusement factor to the group at the same time ;)
