Jack,
       Apparently you've never been in a long running AM QSO Grin  Grin they all drift off of the original "topic of discussion" and you NEVER know where they might just end up. Why should we be any different here! ! All it takes is the right comment at the perfect time to throw the whole QSO into the toilet Grin  Grin Been there done that Wink

Break-in is the way to go!! As most operators are "rotationally challenged" which means too lazy to write everyone's call down in order. Henceforth we go to break-in and the comments fly, and you never know where the QSO is going or will end up.  Shocked  Wink

No it Ain't,...you only have to write a call down once, Laziness is an individual thing to be avoided,... But..Misery loves company I guess...lol Cheesy

Where does it cover This "Break in" in the Manual..See this is one of those Things that lead to the Laxity on air that some think or perceive as proper operation....I don't Operate like that Do I. No you don't know because I don't Take Part.

Hey Rick, where the heck have you been. We don't hear you on the air for ages and you disappeared from here too. Are you wanted by the law?
Steve, et. al. in the AM world of real radio.

Seems I've been just about everwhere but on the air this summer.  Mandatory family wedding out west in Colorado, tour of all the Utah canyons afterwards; acutually floated in the Great Salt Lake.  Then a long list of family and visitors here in WVa.  Don't know where the summer went. 

The Salt Lake is nothing like I imagined.  First I had to walk over salt laden, rocky 'beach' for a mile before reaching the water, then scatter zillions of flea like bugs that covered the water in waves, then swim along with more zillions of brine shrimp that looked and felt exactly like mosquito larvae.   Uuhhg.
Anyway, you know how in normal water, including the ocean, your feet sink?  Well, in Salt Lake you couldn't keep them down.  They just popped right up.   Hmmmm. 

Also 3733's been kind of wiped out at my distance from y'all all summer, along with continuous storms and static.  But, hey, couple of nights ago I listend to ZRF's fine signal along with more melodious female voice in background.  Fall's looking promising.

I'll fire up the 813's later today.

I've been on 3733 very little myself. The band is not good for much that time of day. Add in static and it's toast. Dave and I were on there last weekend, but I could hear Dave probably any time of the day.

Looks like you've been having a FB summer. Catch you on the radio in the coming months.
