Kevin has part of it. The original W2OY (Mike Premus) was famous for his litany while calling CQ, which typically included the following disqualifiers to consider for anyone thinking about responding:

"No lids, no kids, no space cadets, no phonetic fanatics, no school bus riders, only class A operators please."

There is a tribute page to his cantankerous demeanor, complete with 2 sound clips caught by members of this forum, at the web page below:

(Note: I incorrectly typed W9OY instead of W2OY above, so I edited the post to correct that. Apologies to Lee - W9OY who is a "fine business" smug Flex operator)

I'm not sure what his nationality was, but his name was originally spelt Primus. He reportedly changed the spelling to make it appear more "Anglicised". So therefore, even his name meant "Class A".

"No lids, no kids, no space cadets, no phonies*, no school bus riders, only class A operators please."

*Hence the term "Phony Operator"

There was a story about Mike written in The AM Press/Exchange by Richard Haungs, W2UJR (SK). According to Dick, who lived near him and had long known him personally, that was 90% put-on, and he was a nice guy in person who was actually friendly to local "space cadets".

He wouldn't talk to me because he said I was a "long talker" and he wanted "short talkers". IOW, he didn't like old buzzard transmissions.

Don, I neglected to explain. "Riding the wave" is the CB term for exactly what the SSBers were doing by zero-beating, except in this case the SSBers were in the right because the AM operator was jamming with a carrier and no modulation.

On CB, there is only a channel switch so if there is some idiot keyed down to jam the channel, one can go to SSB on the same channel and let his carrier do all the work. Anyone listening in AM mode (99.9% of the users) will hear your SSB transmission just as if it was AM because the carrier is supplied by the dead-keyer. Because it is channelized they have nowhere to run, no KC's to move off.
