7.290 is listed as a AM calling freq but i havent seen anything about 7.203. Newbie. you will learn that tuners get any frequency they want. That is one of the unwritten rules. im still missing something. explain it to me so i dont offend anyone again. |

Lots of Hams tend to find a frequency with a QSO in progress, then tune up on that frequency, which, of course, makes quite a pleasant tone. KM was making a joke about all the QRM from tuners on 7203, jokingly referring to it as the "national tuners frequency." |

That is one of the unwritten rules. im still missing something. explain it to me so i dont offend anyone again. just making sarcastic remarks. It seems that whenever a conversation starts on a frequency that someone has to come in and tune up and interfere with the conversation. With the modern auto tuners and radios tuning takes very little time if any. There are always people on the bands who interfere with others enjoyment of the hobby. one more rule...... If you are going to tune up on the air.... NEVER give a call sign. It is a sure sign of a lid or very new operator to give your callsign. (more sarcasm. Don't take me too seriously  ) |

Back when I was first licensed every radio had tubes. Tuning was necessary. But we had big cans of transformer oil with a resistor in them Most of the tuning could be done with that and only a little touch up on the air... but still many insisted in tuning on the air. There were bad operators in the 1060's and still are today.

the noise i was talking about was the S8-9 static i have at my QTH, not noise from someone creating interference.

was going to set up for a while tonight but decided to take the XYL out to dinner for mothers day. may be on tomorrow evening though. takes some time and effort to set up my station. will be so glad when we are in our own house so i can have everything set up on its own desk. it sucks having to go outside to get on the air.
