I am thinking it is guys like you that are the problem. If you have such a problem with this operation, spin the dial or flip the big switch. Find something else that pleases you.

I see you are banned over on the Zed. Just what "rites" are you talking about. Is this something satanic?

Yeah, that's right, we're sitting at home just pretending.

 Stop by if you are ever in the neighborhood. You can use my station. The bands are only open a few hours a day to the mainland from here. I absolutely  guarantee you will not hear any "CQ CQ parks on the air" 21+ hours out of 24.

You keep harping on this subject.  Don't you have anything better to do?

Can I assume your radio has a VFO and power button?  Use ‘em.  Better still, get off your duff, get outside, and see for yourself what it’s about.

This guy just wants attention. The best thing to do is just ignore him. No wonder he got banned on "Zed"

We know his "caps" key works, just wish he would use it, along with proper punctuation.

One of my local buddies activates a park near to his workplace every lunch hour. He also does it while hiking with his wife in a couple nearby ones.

No different than the 10-10 Club. Plenty of space up and down the bands in which to operate. I'm just thankful someone is using the HF spectrum and keeping it active.
