This is my response to Burts truth about ham radio. He made some good points but I figured I’d cover a few more. I also may upload a few more points about ha…

But the term “Break” comes from the Military and is sign you are about to
pause your TX but you are not finished. But yes I agree 100% it is 73 not
73’s. But it is still part of freedom of speech and we don’t make the
rules. =] DE WW5RM
This guy is boring as shit and buy the way what his point??
5150 is used out here in the peoples republic of the Moonbeam disciples.

Instead of saying anything about “customs” on the air, why not invite
KF5XXX to have a cup of coffee with you at a local eatery, or even @ your
house. Praise in public, “counsel” in private.
…to pass the emergency traffic or to get help…forgot to add
that…Anyway, I was a Ham from 1986, until I decided to give it up in
2000, as between 1995 to 2000 I had to many bad things happen to me in Ham
Radio, including at least three people who had used (pirated) my call to
cause trouble for me. However I have decided to get back into Ham Radio and
give it a second chance, as my best friend is a Ham, and has been trying to
get me back into it. Have a nice day, KC9YZR
Respectfully it’s not the best idea to let mere peeves become something to
sweat. For yourself and Burt to go through the trouble to make & post your
videos, you may be sweat the small stuff. I’m an amateur radio operator.
All the things you and Burt mention don’t affect my ability to operate my
station
@hiroku1324 How is he going to do that once they see his trailer next to
the railroad tracks? I’m sure he’ll stick to the CB picking up truckers or
fuck dead hobos.
Break: A procedure signal used to interrupt or break into an existing
conversation or to tell another station to go ahead, as in “over”. Also
used in traffic handling as a separator between major portions of formal
traffic such as between the address, message text, and signature. On land
line telegraph break meant to interrupt a sending operator.
I don’t have my license yet but I have listened to hams on my scanner.
Personally it annoys me when people don’t use the phonetic alphabet for
their call sign. Sometimes I am not sure what their call sign was. If they
use the NATO alphabet it’s clear what their call sign is. The NATO alphabet
isn’t that difficult to learn. I have it memorized. I think you should be
required to use the NATO alphabet for your call sign.
What are you talking about?
you have to really becareful who you befriend in the ham community.
You made an excellent point when you mentioned the fact concerning the
importance of ham radio and distastes that do effect the communication
capacities of a local community
the audio quality is 2…. hope you have a good quality of video…
@W6CSAhamradio BLOCKED LMAO BYE!
@climbingarizona Its not that bad once you get past the very few certain
a-holes. Most of ham radio operators ain’t that bad at all. Most of them
are very nice and will help you out in any way possible.
I agree I use phonetics when I hit repeaters hundreds of miles away and I
notice that I only receive it about S3 or less. (Tropo)
“If you enter the qso with BREAK, you are expected to be in an emergency”
Hams in your area are not following internationally accepted protocols and
this could cause problems for hams traveling through the area “Break Break”
is and always has been the only internationally accepted way to signify an
emergency Break.. A single break on a repeater is the proper protocol if
you need to make a call on the repeater and simply throwing your call sign
out is the proper protocol to join a discussion
Meaning Hams can of course say, “Whiskey Bravo Nine Uniform Alpha Lima,”
also, as far as saying, “Break” goes, it is often used to break into a
conversation to pass some sort of emergency traffic, like if you came
across an accident and want one of the people that are talking on a 2 meter
repeater, or maybe yourself, if you know the codes for making an
auto-patch, or phone call, using the repeater.
Well, as far as XYL goes, I have heard some people, not just Hams, use XYL
as referring to their ex-wives, but most are referring to their wives, but
if they want to talk about hearing a lady over the air, or contacting a
lady over the air, they refer to the ladies as YLs, meaning “young ladies,”
so a YL is a Young Lady, and they have the saying that you won’t find any
young men or old ladies on Ham Radio, so that’s why a lady is a YL and a
man is a OM. (probably showing courtesy for the ladies)
and in my area BREAK is reserved for emergencies only. If you enter the qso
with BREAK, you are expected to be in an emergency.
Was this even coherent?
Hi Hi It is a F@T Guy…..Hi Hi
Is this gonna be a long story???
Anthony, You will be pleased to learn that your extra class license will
not require Morse code at all. You will also learn that some hams are as
interested in the history and “culture” of ham radio Q signals and
procedures as you are about the “culture” and “heritage” of the
Confederacy. Last I checked, we lost that war, even though we outgunned our
northern brothers by more than three to two.
Careful – that train HORN could be construed as re-broadcasting MUSIC which
is not allowed on amateur radio…..
