    You know today I was reminded that ham radio operators make crappy drivers. I get behind a 2X2 call on his plates and the guy went up to a roundabout and stopped, then waited - no one around - then went through it at 15 mph then down the road at 25, it is a 40 zone.

    Back in the 70's when I started going to swaps, there was always the joke that ham operators were worst drivers than women.

    I have a ham license (tech) .

    My old 2-meter handheld crapped out, and I never replaced it.

    Don't have one in the truck. Don't have a CB in the truck, either.

    The modern bad driver has a smartphone in hand, but equally dangerous.

    I have two eyes.
    One I cover with a patch.

    I have two ears.
    One I fill with wax.

    You need to pickup an Icom 7300 radio, and put some excitement back into your radio life.

    Just curious, once again showing my green here, not using a 1x2 with an A... personal preference or a meaning I'm unaware of? My guess would be the latter of the two.

    I have no clue, I am a traditional W/K man, N and A don't seem right.
