Rick, yes, that's perfect.? It's just that you don't hear CQ on 2m very often.? I'm not sure how or when or why it evolved that way. ?
Maybe it's time to revive CQ on 2m! ? - Larry W5EIT On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 9:06 AM, Rick Sparber rgsparber.ya@... [FT-60] <FT-60@...> wrote:

It's funny how CQ is common everywhere else, but not on 2m. ?I typically do something like "This is W5EIT listening on six-four", where "six-four" is the repeater output frequency (as in 04/64) or the simplex frequency I'm on. - Larry W5EIT On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 9:04 AM, Jack Travis ae8p@...

Re: not very exciting start
I’ve noticed the same thing in MY area (Los Angeles), which USED TO BE really busy. But, over the past 20 years, with the proliferation of cell phones, texting and Facebook, etc., it seems that there’s not as much chatter on the radio as there used to be.
One formerly popular repeater here, which has coverage from slightly north of Los Angeles all the way down to San Diego, remains quiet nearly all day now. When I first got my license, in 1986, this repeater was so busy you couldn’t break in no matter how mars you tried. It was constant chatter 24/7 on that machine. I’ll spin the dial and go through all my 2m and 440 repeaters I’ve got programmed in my radio and often won’t hear a darned thing on any one of them. These are the times. On the plus side, it’s almost like having a private repeater whenever you want to have one since nobody else seems to be on it anymore. Mark KB6KGX |
