That was the question I just heard on the St. Louis D-STAR repeater.  I don't know if the person asking the question is ARFCOM or not.

Ok, I gotta ask, what does FO mean?  I've been trying to figure it out....

Sweet!

Eta: show title as hat tip to my brethren here. Never Dreamed it would become what it has.
We're growing with every episode, and our audience is worldwide.  Unfortunately the title of the show is the Worst thing about it.  I'm in too far to try and change now...so it's Fo time....

I do not condone the shenanigan's from whence the original story comes from....

I hope the Op heard a good report from the QSO.

I love the FOtime recordings.

Don't worry about it SC, I was in the thread where WECSOG (Wile E Coyote School Of Gunsmithing) was invented.

They'll catch up eventually.

Yes, the report was positive.  He was telling the other guy that FoTime is much more aligned with younger and newer hams that the "other" ones.

Arfcom GD legend. Once upon a time there was a member, "ShawnofTheDead" (SOTD). He started a thread in GD stating he'd been invited to an orgy. The usual frivolity ensued, and finally he posted "F... it, I'm foing". That was his final post and his exact whereabouts have been speculated on ever since.

 







The word "fo" was simply a typo of "go" and it became part of the lexicon to mean "to enter into a risky situation with both eyes open, knowing that the outcome may be poor, or with reckless abandon" or something like that.

You can always change it.  Seriously, I don't think it would take very long for everyone to adjust.  Just put a big banner on your blog for a few months.

Something like:  "FO time is now _________".

Your regular listeners aren't going away, and they will quickly know the new name, and help spread the word. Businesses and casinos change names all the time. Six months later, nobody even remembers what the original name was.
