This thread came up over the weekend while talking with Herb and Roger 'MBX, so I decided to check it out. We had a good chuckle over the reference to the S-Meter as 'the gauge'. As in "yer bendin' the needle on the gauge!". Can't recall where I heard it, either 3892 or 3878 SSB. Was a first for me.

What I do not understand is the use of "HI HI" while using a voice mode. DUH, we can hear you laugh!  Tongue

That "expression" should be relegated to CW, where it might not be as obvious at first when someone is making an attempt at humor!

One of the things that irritates me to no end is the use of HI HI (cw parlance) when using phone. This morning I was listening to a QSO and everything that this old slop bucket fart from Florida was transmitting thought was humorous ended with a Hi Hi on each sentence. I didn't find anything in any of his egotistical one sided transmissions humorous at all.  Phil hit it on the head.  Hi Hi
